An Israeli was murdered by terrorists while guarding empty mobile homes near the West Bank Jewish settlement of Itamar. Aryeh Arnaldo Agranioni, 44, was stabbed and shot. A previously unknown group claimed responsibility for the attack, saying the murder was to avenge the death last week in Ramallah of Hassan Kadi, a member of Palestinian Authority President Yasser Arafat’s Fatah movement.
