...only strategic successes Israel could point to last week after 10 days of intensified fighting, spurred by the assassination of Tourism Minister Rehavam Ze'evi, didn't come from the tanks that rolled almost as far as the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem. They were from small undercover units. 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...

The attack took place on the very day that Secretary of State Colin Powell arrived in Islamabad to pledge American support to the government of Pakistan. Later in the week he pledged an identical degree of support to Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee's government in New Delhi. Powell would dearly love to persuade India and Pakistan to resolve the Kashmir question peacefully. But intermediaries have been trying...
ISRAEL A String of Assassinations The assassinations of Israeli cabinet minister Rehavam Ze?evi and at least three Palestinian militants marked a fresh escalation of hostilities. Prime Minister Ariel Sharon blamed Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat for the killing of Israel?s hard-line Tourism Minister at a Jerusalem hotel and demanded that he hand over those responsible. Israeli troops reoccupied West Bank towns and a 10-year-old girl was among those killed by tank fire.
