...March 30, the 5th Brigade was mobilized. There was no problem of motivation; like most Israelis, the soldiers had been shocked by the suicide attack on a hotel in Netanya three days earlier, an atrocity that killed 28 Israelis sitting down for a Passover seder. The bomber had been sent by a Hamas cell based in Jenin.

Early last week Zinni whittled down the two sets of demands into a single "bridging" proposal, which he presented to Sharon and Arafat the day before Passover.
