		Gideon Meir, an official with the Israeli Foreign Ministry said the attack was a "strike against a known terrorist who is responsible for hundreds of attacks on Israeli civilians in recent years." He expressed regret for the loss of life.
		He was accused by the Israelis of orchestrating numerous attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians, including the killing of four soldiers in a raid on an Israeli army outpost in Gaza in January and the March killing of five teen-age students in the Jewish settlement of Atzmona, also in the Gaza Strip.
		Israeli military sources say that Hamas is certain to make "every effort" to hit back at Israeli civilian targets as quickly and as hard as possible in an attempt to exact revenge for Shehadeh's assassination.

		Their Israeli lawyer, Ram Horwitz, told the Forward he was still waiting for the results of the medical tests undertaken by the men in Israel to make a decision on an eventual lawsuit in the United States for mistreatment.

		Israeli bombers attacked three power stations in Lebanon on the night of February 7, in response to Hizbullah attacks on Israeli troops in Israeli-occupied south Lebanon during the first weeks of the year.
		The Israeli response against civilian targets is an expression of their frustration and impotence in the face of continuing Hizbullah operations against their military installations and troops in occupied southern Lebanon.
		Following the launch of the Israeli attacks, the Israeli government declared a state of emergency in the north of the country, forcing Israel's people to go to bomb shelters, even though the threat of attack, and the chances of being hit even if there was an attack, is negligible.

		That gloomy diagnosis is an illustration of the distance Israeli society has travelled since the concept of the “people’s army” was pioneered by the country’s first Prime Minister, David Ben-Gurion, after the declaration of independence in 1948.
		Last month, nine reserve pilots signed a letter addressed to the head of the Israeli airforce declaring their unwillingness to participate in missions in the occupied territories.
