...slide into total war." Talks can continue once there's a cease-fire, he said. As he spoke, Israeli helicopter gunships continued the offensive, firing on Palestinian security buildings in Gaza City. Some concessions were made: Arafat ordered the arrest of three of the alleged murderers of Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi, and Israel pulled troops from the Gaza Strip. The arrests were a condition of Arafat's being allowed to leave his compound, but Sharon said he had not met all the requirements. This week Israeli and Palestinian security chiefs plan to meet, and the U.N. Security Council will...
...Sharon's travails deepened just as Arafat showed signs of crawling out of the international doghouse. Arafat ordered the arrests of three Palestinian militants involved in last October's assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Zeevi, which Israel had demanded as a condition for lifting Arafat's travel restrictions.

Sources in the domestic intelligence service tell TIME that officers from a Jerusalem police undercover unit nabbed Mahmed Rimawi, one of the gang that allegedly killed Ze'evi, from a hideout in the hostile Kalandia refugee camp. Another undercover team found a second member of the hit squad, Salah Alawi...
...assassination of Israeli Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze’evi two weeks ago marked a tragic turn in the already bloody conflicts in Israel, and the perpetrators must be brought to justice. However, the recent Israeli invasion of Palestinian towns, including Bethlehem—which had not been invaded within the last year—will only exacerbate the situation. The PFLP, Hamas or another terrorist organization will likely retaliate for the invasions and the 38 Palestinians who died during them.
