A senior Israeli official said that some of Iran’s highly enriched uranium stockpile survived American and Israeli attacks and may be accessible to Iranian nuclear engineers, but that any attempts by Iran to recover the material, believed buried in caskets underground, would almost certainly be detected, and Israel would be able to launch strikes on such efforts. Prime Minister Netanyahu said in an interview that Israel knows where the enriched uranium is buried and that while it is a vital component, it is not enough to build a nuclear bomb.

The victim of yesterday’s terror attack was Shalev Zvuluny, 22, from Kiryat Arba, who was working as a security guard in the nearby settlement of Efrat when two terrorist opened fire in the parking lot of the Harim Mall. The terrorists, both members of the Palestinian Authority police, were killed by armed Israel civilians at the scene. Witnesses said the assailants stole Zvuluny’s weapon and used it to shoot him at close range.
