The IDF was active on land and from the air in the West Bank Sunday night, hitting
targets in El-Bireh, Tulkarm and Beituniya in retaliation for the killing of three Israeli soldiers and four civilians since Saturday.
The Palestinian Red Crescent society said three people were injured by tank
rounds fired at two different locations in El Bireh. Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon cut short his week long vacation and met last night with Israel's
security cabinet to discuss Israeli responses to the latest round of Palestinian
violence. Military analysts believe the IDF may raise the level of its retaliations
to include targeting manned Palestinian positions.
The IDF's actions last night followed Palestinian
violence that claimed the life of a seventh victim in two days. Dov Roseman,
58, a merchant from Netanya, was shot dead Sunday afternoon near Kibbutz
Magal, on the Israeli side of the "Green Line" north of Tulkarm.
Roseman was reportedly meeting Palestinians on a business transaction
when he was fatally wounded by shots from close range. Officials believe
the assailants waited in ambush and later fled to a nearby West Bank village.
