...target chosen? SHKAKI: It was planned very well. The two mujahedin [the Gaza men who carried the bombs] knew each other very well. Before the attack happened, they went to the scene of the operation and studied it carefully. At the appointed time, they went from Gaza to Tel Aviv, and from Tel Aviv to the military bus station, which was well protected. Beside the military station there was a small coffee shop where soldiers go. The two men coordinated between them: the first was to enter the shop and blow himself up, while the second was to stay outside...

Civil war could also be provoked by Arafat's security forces, which include men who believe that...
...Hamas members, Israel was in a strong position. True, there were the terrorist attacks that prompted the deportation, but they were not considered severe enough to render the Israelis weak or vulnerable. Suddenly, an attack in the center of Jerusalem and an attack in the center of Tel-Aviv made Israelis vulnerable and the fickle pendulum of justice shifted to Israel's side...
