Palestinians brace for Israeli retaliation

Posted: Thursday, March 28, 1:42pm EST

Palestinians were engaging in panic buying of essential items as they braced for Israel to retaliate for the latest suicide bombing. As the Monitor went to press, the only indicator of possible action was tank blockades of the Gaza Strip that effectively divided it into three parts. Senior officials, preparing for a meeting of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's Cabinet, said Israel would "not wait long" for its response to the attack on a Passover meal in a Netanya hotel late Wednesday that killed at least 21 people and wounded more than 100 others. For its part, Hamas, which claimed responsibility for the attack, said it was only a foretaste of "a wave being prepared" for Israel.
