anonymity, said Arafat
ordered the arrest of four key
militants from the Islamic
militant groups Hamas and
Islamic Jihad as well as from
the A1 Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade,
a militia linked to Arafat’s
Fatah movement.
The explosion occurred at
about 7:20 p.m. Wednesday, as
dozens of guests in the Park
Hotel along Netanya’s board
walk settled down for the
Passover Seder in the dining
hall. Guests were dressed in
their holiday best; the women
in festive dresses, the men in
white shirts and dark pants.
The bomber, carrying a
large bag of explosives, made
His way past an afmed guard at
the hotel entrance who did not
consider him suspicious, Israel
TV said. From the lobby, he ran
toward the dining hall, where
he blew himself up.
Some of the wounded stag
gered out of the lobby, which
was plunged into darkness by
the explosion. Others were
taken to ambulances in stretch
ers, including a young boy who
had an oxygen mask pressed to
the face.
One man was covered by a
blue blanket, blood dripping
from his face. An elderly
woman, her face covered with
blood, sat on the sidewalk,
attended to by several people.
Witnesses said they saw five
bodies lined up on the pavement,
some of them dismembered,
including that of a woman in fes
tive holiday clothes.
“They attacked innocent
Israelis on one of the most
sacred nights to Jewish people,
Passover,” said Meir, the Israeli
government spokesperson.

ple, Passover.

Israeli government
spokesperson
Israeli police had been on
high alert for possible attacks
during the weeklong Passover
holiday, with more than 10,000
officers deployed in potential
trouble spots.
The country’s police com
missioner, Shlomo
Aharonishki, said it was impos
sible to prevent all attacks.
“Even with more policemen
and a broader deployment, we
cannot block the centers of the
cities,” Aharonishki said.
Israel has said repeatedly it
cannot tolerate more attacks on
its civilians. Earlier this week,
Sharon convened his security
Cabinet to discuss possible
options in the event the truce
mission fails. One idea raised
was a large-scale military oper
ation in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip.
Israel has held Arafat
responsible for the string of
recent attacks, saying he has
done nothing to rein in mili
tants. Raanan Gissin, a Sharon
adviser, said the attack in
Netanya “will require us to
reevaluate our overall policy.”
“We are still working to
achieve a cease-fire to which
we are fully committed, but if
the Palestinians have decided
to choose the road of terrorism
... then we have to decide what
measures we will take,”
Gissin said.
The bombing came
just hours after Saudi Crown
Prince Abdullah presented a
new peace initiative at the Arab
summit in Beirut, offering
Israel normal relations with the
Arab world in exchange for a
complete withdrawal from the
territories it occupied in the
1967 Mideast war.
Arafat, who remains
confined to the West Bank by
Israel, embraced the initiative
in a televised speech, and said
he hoped it would be adopted
by the summit.
