Memorial Day in Israel happens to be on the day in which Kfar Etzion fell to the Jordanian Arab Legion, which massacred hundreds on that day in May, 1948.

Most people, according to ordinary Jews and Arabs in Gush Etzion, just want to live in peace. Several blame the Palestinian leadership for incitement to terror, which destroys families on both sides.

Two soldiers were moderately wounded in a car-ramming terror attack by a Palestinian terrorist just east of Jerusalem Friday morning.

A Palestinian terrorist shot and murdered three people, including an 18-year-old American student, and wounded several more in Gush Etzion Thursday.

A second terrorist attack in one day struck Israel, killing a 25-year old woman and leaving two other civilians with light to moderate wounds.
