Israel Plans Response to Jerusalem Terror Attack
(Ha'aretz) Aluf Benn, Amos Harel, and Nathan Guttman - Israel's security cabinet met Wednesday to approve Israel's response to Tuesday's Jerusalem terror attack. The IDF began anti-terrorist operations in Nablus and Jenin. The IDF is also preparing to renew its "targeted killings" of terrorist leaders in the militant Islamic organizations. According to political sources in Jerusalem, the U.S. is demanding that the PA take action against the terror organizations operating in areas under its control, and told the Palestinians that if they don't act against the terror infrastructure, Israel will. The sources added that the U.S. has not asked Israel to restrain its response to the suicide bombing. President Bush told Prime Minister Sharon Wednesday that there could be no compromising on the issue of terrorism, and that the killers of women and children must be hunted down. "There is a need to wipe out those organizations that deal in the murder of the innocent and are destroying the peace process," Bush said.
