Israel braces for retaliation after weekend bombings and wave of arrests
Israel intensified security as weekend bombings killed 26 and wounded around 200. Yasser Arafat’s forces rounded up 110 Hamas and Islamic Jihad activists in a major five year sweep, while Prime Minister Sharon faced pressure to expel Arafat. Bush urged justice for victims. West Bank closures increased, clashes reported near Ramallah and Tulkarem, and Haifa bus bombing survivors watched by police. A Yediot Ahronot banner proclaimed we are at war as Maariv urged an offensive against Palestinian terror and Arafat accountability. A national poll showed 37 percent want Arafat toppled and 32 percent favor resumed peace talks without cease-fire.
