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. They attacked in nocent Israelis on one of the most sacred nights to Jewish peo ple, Passover. — Gideon Meir 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.
