This has been a very bad week when there's increasing terrorist attacks occurring, partly due to the Israeli government's inability to act convincingly upon them. For example, besides the tragedy in Ofra, there was also a stabbing attack in Jerusalem's Old City district:

Two police officers were wounded in a stabbing attack at the Hospice junction in the Old City of Jerusalem on Thursday morning.

A 20-year-old female Border Police officer who suffered moderate injuries as evacuated to the Hadassah Ein Kerem Hospital. A 21-year-old male officer with light injuries was evacuated to the Shaare Zedek Hospital.

Other police officers who were at the scene neutralized and killed the terrorist.

Then, there was an even worse attack - it was near Ofra too - at a bus stop:

A Palestinian gunman opened fire at a bus stop outside a West Bank settlement on Thursday, shooting at soldiers and civilians and killing at least two Israelis before fleeing, the military and Israel's rescue service said.

The deaths extend a violent week that began with a shooting outside a West Bank settlement on Sunday, resulting in the death of a baby who was delivered prematurely following the weekend attack, and continued with the killing of two Palestinians wanted in that and another attack on Israelis in the West Bank.

Take a moment to notice the moral equivalence in this report with the terrorist operatives mentioned. It comes from AP Wire reporting, and they're obviously still one of the most abominable news agencies around.

The Israeli military said the assailant stepped out of his car and fired at the bus stop, wounding several people and then fleeing the scene. It said forces were searching the area for the attacker.

Eli Bin, the head of Israel's Magen David Adom service, told Israeli Army Radio that two people were killed in the shooting, which occurred at a location about a ten-minute drive south from the place of Sunday's attack. Their identities were not immediately known.

A later statement from the service said paramedics arrived at a bus stop to find four "youngsters" with gunshot wounds.

As noted here, it was also near Ofra, and one of the victims was from Beit Shemesh. By the way, what's with the quotations anyway? What does age have to do with this?

There already is, from what I've seen on TV, a demonstration calling for action, and if the government as it stands now wants to maintain some credibility, they'll have to start taking better action to defeat Hamas and other such terrorists. And stop going soft on the PLO.
