TWO KIDS, THREE ADULTS SLAUGHTERED IN KIBBUTZ METZER > Kibbutz Metzer, between the Shomron and Hadera in central Israel, is > in > mourning today after a terrorist infiltrated the town last night, > slaughtered two children and three adults, and then kept the security > > forces and the residents on tense alert until this morning when it > was > ascertained that he had safely fled the area. > > The murderer entered the kibbutz (agricultural collective), 30 miles > northeast of Tel Aviv and only a few hundred meters from the pre-1967 > > armistice line (Green Line), shortly before midnight. He first shot > at two > people walking on a path, mortally wounding Tirtzah Damari, 42, of > Elyachin, but not injuring her companion, who managed to escape and > hide > out in a barn for several hours. Yitzchak Dori, 43, head of the > kibbutz > secretariat, came to assist when he heard the gunfire, and apparently > fired > several shots at the terrorist - but to no avail. The Arab shot at > him as > well and killed him, then entered a house and pumped bullets into 4- > and > 5-year-old brothers and their mother - the Ochayon family - as she > was > cowering with them in their bedroom. > > It was not clear at that point how many terrorists were involved, or > where > he or they were, and residents were ordered to stay indoors with > their > lights off while a thorough manhunt in every corner of the kibbutz > was > launched. Only around 7 AM were the residents allowed out, after the > > terrorist was declared to have fled. Very heavy police, Border > Guard, and > IDF forces remained in neighboring areas. > > Yitzchak Dori was buried this afternoon in Metzer, while at the same > time > Tirtzah Damari was being laid to rest in Moshav Elyachin, near > Hadera. Tirtzah is the third Oslo War victim from Elyachin in the > past > year, though the town itself was never attacked. > > The funerals of the Ochayon family members - Revital and her two sons > > Matan, 5, and Noam, 4 - will be held this evening in the Haifa > area. Revital, described as a "powerhouse of energy," was separated > from > her husband, with whom she was speaking on the phone when the > terrorist > entered her home. She and her two children moved to Netzer from > Pardes > Chana a few months ago. Her former husband said today that he heard > the > gunshot and the children's screams over the phone. In a voice broken > with > sobs, he said afterwards that though he knew what had happened, "they > > wouldn't let me in to the kibbutz for three hours. 'Be optimistic,' > they > told us… Do you know what's it like for two 5-year old kids? … Do > you > know how beautiful they were?" > > 2. IN THE KIBBUTZ > Kibbutz Metzer was established in the early 1950's by South American > immigrants of the left-wing HaShomer HaTza'ir movement, and currently > has > some 500 members. Menashe Regional Council Head Ilan Sadeh said that > over > the years Metzer has had "extraordinary relations with the local > Arabs, > wonderful neighborly relations." Concerned that construction of a > security > separation fence would encroach upon neighboring Arab-cultivated > land, the > kibbutz recently offered to give up some of its own lands for the > purpose - > or, alternatively, suggested that no fence at all be built between > Metzer > and its Arab neighbors. > > Arutz-7's Effie Meir spoke this morning with some members of Kibbutz > Metzer > about the murderous attack. One former Peace Now leader said that he > > realized about a year ago that, "with all due respect to our desire > for > peace, so far it's only been a one-way street… The Palestinians are > not > yet ready for peace." He said that he thinks the terrorists picked > Kibbutz > Metzer specifically because of its left-wing tilt. Two others did > not > agree, however. One said that the attack does not change his > perception of > his Arab neighbors, as "it's only a very small percentage of Arabs > who are > terrorists… If it wasn't for the placement of the security fence > [which > encroached significantly on Arab olive groves], we could have > continued > living in peace." In answer to a question, another man said, "Yes, > we will > continue to make peace - I hope so. After all, I like peace." > > Representatives of the Psychological Service of the Yesha Regional > Councils > arrived in Metzer this morning to offer their help to the bereaved > families. Kibbutz Movement leaders also visited the kibbutz, and > said that > despite the attack, their movement will continue to adhere to its > policy of > "peace and reconciliation… Kibbutz Metzer is living evidence of > co-existence even during times of conflict." > > Defense Minister Sha'ul Mofaz and IDF Chief of Staff Lt.-Gen. Moshe > Yaalon > met for a long meeting today, apparently planning Israel's military > retaliation. The two worked together as Chief of Staff and Deputy > Chief of > Staff, respectively, until a few months ago. The IDF is likely to > strike > at the Tanzim infrastructures in Shechem. The Tanzim has been > responsible > for a number of recent attempted terrorist attacks in the area. > > Prime Minister Ariel Sharon attended the annual memorial ceremony for > > former Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion, who died 29 years ago, in > Sdeh > Boker in the Negev today. Sharon said, > "49 years ago, I had the privilege of meeting, for the first time, > then-Prime Minister and Defense Minister David Ben-Gurion... It was > just > after a shocking murder of a mother and two children in Yahud. When > I > heard over the night about what happened at Metzer, it reminded me of > my > first meeting with David Ben-Gurion..." > > 3. OTHER ATTACKS THWARTED > Only a few hours before last night's murderous spree, Border Guard > policemen stopped a suspicious vehicle somewhat north of Metzer - > thus > thwarting a double attack in Israel. The guards were manning a > checkpoint > in Nachal I'ron (Wadi Ara) when their suspicions were aroused - and > were > confirmed when the car blew up seconds after being ordered to halt. > One of > the passengers was wearing an explosive belt, while the second man > was > holding an explosives charge in a bag. Both terrorists were killed > in the > blast. The IDF reports that the two were intending to infiltrate > pre-1967 > Israel to carry out a suicide bombing. No Israeli casualties were > reported. > > In yet another terrorist attack, a Kiryat Arba resident was lightly > wounded > this morning as he was driving along the Jerusalem-Hevron highway > near > Halhoul. Terrorists waiting in ambush opened fire on him, and he was > > treated in the Kiryat Arba clinic. Yesterday, a 15-year-old youth > from > Shechem was arrested on his way to carry out a suicide attack... A > senior > Hamas member from Hevron was also taken into custody... Border Guard > > police sappers defused two powerful explosive devices, weighing a > total of > 160 kilograms, found in hothouses in the Gaza Strip community of > Morag. > > In response to the recent surge in mortar attacks on Gush Katif, an > IDF > helicopter attacked a mortar shell manufacturing plant in Gaza last > night. Three Arabs were lightly wounded. > > ******************************************************* > Dr. Laz "The coolest & most exciting Jewish entertainer on the > planet!" > http://www.jewishuniverse.org/tracking/drlaz2.php > ******************************************************* > > 4. THEY MEANT TO KILL LITTLE BOYS FURTHER EAST > Ynet reported this afternoon that the Al-Aksa Brigades, the terrorist > arm > of Fatah that took credit for last night's Kibbutz Metzer murders, > entered > a state of confusion after learning that the kibbutz it attacked was > in > fact not in Samaria, but rather in pre-1967 Israel. Though at least > one > Al-Aksa Brigades source was quoted as saying that there is no > difference > between the two locations, others said that the attack was a > "mistake," in > light of the group's intention to perpetrate terrorist murders only > in > Judea, Samaria, and Gaza. > > The "mistake" is considered particularly awkward for Fatah in light > of > meetings it is presently conducting in Cairo in which it is trying to > > persuade Hamas to restrict its terrorism to Judea, Samaria, and > Gaza. Yasser Arafat was even reported to have ordered an > investigation > into the incident, which he said will be "thorough." __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
