step up military activity that is designed
to protect the lives of Israeli citizens."
Israeli and Palestinian security forces,
working together, made eight arrests in
the incident.
The attack could also hinder any
additional release of Palestinian prison-
ers. Israel recently released 500 of them
and has said it would free another 400,
but Israeli Cabinet Minister Tzipi Livni
told Palestinian officials that Israel did
not want another meeting of the joint
committee that sets the criteria for
releases.
U.S. President George Bush reacted
strongly to the bombing as well. "Such
brutal attacks that kill and wound
innocent Israelis cannot be tolerated by
the Israeli people," he said. "Nor
should they be tolerated by the
Palestinian people, for such attacks
undermine their hopes for a better
future."
Israel's deputy defense minister, Ze'ev
Boim, said Israel could resume its assas-
sinations of Islamic Jihad leaders — a
move that most Palestinians would
view as a violation of the truce — or
even strike Syria, as it did when it
bombed a terrorist training base outside
Damascus in October 2003 in response
to a Palestinian suicide attack.
"Action by us against,Syria is certain-
ly a possibility," Boim told Israel Radio.
If Syria's president, Bashar Assad "needs
another hint from us, then he will get
it, of course."
For the victims of the attack, this was
cold comfort. Among the dead were
three members of a close-knit Israel
Defense Forces reserve combat unit and
the fiancee of another member of the
unit. All died immediately.
Yael Orbach, a 28-year-old acting
student, was to have been married in
three weeks — she had planned to
hand out wedding
invitations that
evening. Her fiance,
Ofir Gonen, was seri-
ously wounded.
"I call on these peo-
ple and the army, in
Orbach
tears and with full con-
sciousness, to avenge Yael Orbach," her
father, Yisrael, told Army Radio on
Sunday. "If they do not avenge this
righteous person, I will."
The fifth victim, Odelia Hobera, 26,
died Monday. She was going to a birth-
day party she'd organized at Stage.
Three of Gonen's comrades — Yitzhak
Buzaglo, Arik Nagar and Ronen
Reuvenon — were killed.
Buzaglo's wife, Linda, remains in crit-
ical condition. The Buzaglos have two
young children. El
