Israeli Army: Big
Bomb A Mistake
$29.99 and higher.
$
Jerusalem/JTA — Israeli military
officials questioned the wisdom of
using a one-ton bomb to kill a
Hamas leader in the Gaza Strip.
Faced with a wave of international
criticism, the officials are saying the
manner in which Tuesday's airstrike
was carried out was a mistake.
Fourteen civilians, including nine
children, were killed along with ter-
ror mastermind Salah Shehada.
Senior political officials reiterated
Wednesday that had Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon and Defense Minister
Benjamin Ben-Eliezer known there
were civilians in the vicinity, they
would have put off the operation, as
had been done on prior occasions.

Aid To Israel
Washington/JTA — The U.S. House
of Representatives approved an addi-
tional $200 million in aid to-Israel on
Tuesday night. The aid measure,
which was part of an anti-terrorism
supplemental spending bill, passed
397-32.
The bill also includes $50 million
for humanitarian assistance to
Palestinians in the West Bank and
Gaza Strip, which will be distrib-
uted by international humanitarian
organizations. The Senate was
expected to approve the same bill
Wednesday, but it is unclear
whether the president will sign it
into law. White House officials
believe it includes too much spend-
ing for legislators' pet projects.

Israeli Tax Reform
Law Is Approved
Jerusalem/JTA — The Knesset
approved a tax reform bill that paves
the way for Israel's first capital gains
tax. The measure was given final
approval Wednesday by a vote of
61-13, with 10 abstentions.
The law, which goes into effect on
Jan. 1, will tax stock profits and over-
seas income while providing a gradual
reduction in income tax over a five-
year period. Finance Minister Silvan
Shalom praised the government for
bringing about passage of what he
called the "most important tax legisla-
tion" in Israel's history.
