The victim was an employee of the Rafah crossing terminal. ARMY RADIO reported that three armed men riddled the vehicle at close range with automatic weapons. The gunmen escaped to the Gaza Strip, and Omar al-Mukhtar Forces, a military arm of the Fatah Uprising group, claimed responsibility. Sergeant Shahar Vekret, 20, of Lod was fatally shot in the neck on Friday by a Palestinian sniper near Rachel's Tomb. Sergeant First Class Avner Shalom, 28, of Eilat, was killed in a shooting attack at the Gush Katif junction. A jeep driver serving in the reserves, Shalom was killed after the passengers of a Palestinian car opened fire at the jeep Shalom was driving, which was part of a roadblock at the junction. The patrol commander was lightly injured by shrapnel. The Palestinians in the car continued to shoot at the soldiers, who got out of the jeep, attacked the car and killed all its occupants. :: IDF TAKES ACTION AGAINST FATAH: During an IDF-initiated action in the area of the village of Beit-Sahur, missiles were launched by IDF helicopters at the vehicle of a senior Fatah/Tanzeem terrorist. The pilots reported an accurate hit. The terrorist was killed and his aide was wounded. The action was undertaken after an IDF (Israel Defense Force) force identified an armed unit occupying positions which had been a source of multiple firings on Rachel's tomb and the Giloh neighborhood in Jerusalem. The Fatah/Tanzeem terrorist is Hsein Abayaat, a resident of Bethlehem, suspected in the planning and undertaking of many shooting attacks against Israeli armed forces and against the civilian sites of Rachel's tomb and the Giloh neighborhood. HAKOL MEHASHETACH NEWS AGENCY reports that the Arabs were on their way to committing a terrorist attack in the area. :: VIOLENCE EXTENDS TO THE JORDAN VALLEY: Palestinians on last Saturday night vandalized and destroyed 110 greenhouses growing herbs and flowers near Moshav Ro'i in the Jordan Valley. The damage is estimated in millions of shekels. Four Palestinians "wreaked vandalism far worse than in the darkest days of the Intifada," said Giora Sela of the moshav. "Plants were pulled and trampled, plastics on over 100 dunams of greenhouses were ruined, water pipes were slashed, and irrigation computers were destroyed." Sela complained that the IDF does not allocate additional manpower to guard the towns in the area. The townsmen have to patrol the streets themselves and so cannot also protect their outlying fields and greenhouses. :: GOVERNMENT NOT SO CONCERNED WITH SECUTIRY IN YESHA: Pinchas Wallerstein, head of the Binyamin Regional Council, told Arutz-7, "The YESHA [Judea, Samaria and Gaza] Council is doing all it can to fight the government's 'low-strength policy' - a policy based on the idea that it's not so terrible if the current low-flame violence, involving injuries only to settlers and soldiers, continues ... This policy includes the totally ridiculous idea that the communities can be defended from within, a situation that allows them to be attacked ... Our feeling is that we must fight [not only to defend, but] to win this war." Officials of the YESHA Council are demanding that the army step up operations against Palestinian and Tanzim terrorists, and beef up its presence in Judea, Samaria and Gaza, reversing a reported decision to trim troop strength in the embattled areas. YESHA representatives learned of the planned troop reductions during a Sunday meeting with overall YESHA commander Major General Yitzhak Eitan. :: DECLARATION OF A STATE? "The Palestine National Council will declare a Palestinian state during its meeting in Gaza on November 15," the Jordanian economic daily AL-ASWAQ quoted Taysser Qub'a, deputy speaker of the Palestine National Council, as saying. Arafat's spokesman, Marwan Kanafani, said by telephone Tuesday there was no meeting scheduled for the 15th, but one would be held a few days later. He said the purpose of the meeting was "not for the declaration of a state" but rather for reviewing preparations which have been made over the past two months toward the declaration of statehood. Nonetheless, Kanafani said he believed an independent state would be declared "around the 15th." :: PROSPECT OF WAR INCREASES: Only weeks ago, Israel and the United States were planning a diplomatic offensive that would end in Middle East peace. Today, both countries are quietly discussing the prospect of a regional war. Israel and the United States completed two days of strategic talks in the southern port city of Eilat in which officials and intelligence commanders reviewed the threat assessments in the region. This time, however, representatives from the two countries did not focus on such long-range threats as Iran and Iraq -- but rather the prospect of a regional war that could sweep Lebanon, Syria, the Palestinians and even Jordan. The Israeli military has been quick to detect the shift in the region. Military intelligence officers regarded the mini-war between Israel and the Palestinian Authority (PA/PLO) as more than a passing episode -- but rather a change in strategy by PLO Chairman Yasser Arafat, who was coordinating with such states Iraq, Syria and the Hizb'Allah terrorists in Lebanon. :: IRAN'S CONTRIBUTION TO THE INTIFADA [WAR]: ISRAEL RADIO reports that Iran is said to be sending foreign citizens to carry out suicide missions and "sensational terrorist acts" in Israel. According to the report, the foreign citizens have been instructed to carry out mass bombings and to try to blow up towers and large complexes inside Israel. At the same time, the Iranians are encouraging the Hizb'Allah to kidnap Israeli soldiers and civilians in the North. *COPYRIGHT NOTICE** In accordance with Title 17 U. S. C.
