Six Palestinians Killed In Missile Strike (washingtonpost.com)
Where to begin... Four of the dead were reportedly members of Hamas. Yasser has been surrounded again, and Ramallah is under Israeli control. Hamas leader Ahmed Yassin has been arrested by his fellow Palestinians. And Dubya, showing his remarkable sense of timing, is planning to propose a Palestinian state.
I get the impression that we're looking at some sort of endgame, that this phase of the conflict has gone as far as it can. My guess is that Yasser is about to be removed from the game; maybe he'll be killed, or exiled, or pushed into a figurehead role, but he seems increasingly irrelevant.
