The War Can Be Won

It's been a long, bloody haul, with heaps of international condemnation, but Israel is winning its own war on terror.

It has been just over three months since Palestinian suicide bombers last struck inside Israel — the longest such lull in more than three years. That attack was on March 14, a double bombing at the busy Mediterranean harbor in Ashdod that killed 10 port workers.

And, it's not that the Palestinians have stopped trying. They're just getting caught.

Last week, Israel's chief of military intelligence, Maj. Gen. Aharon Zeevi-Farkash, told lawmakers that among the dozens of recent foiled attacks was one in which six bombers had planned to blow themselves up simultaneously. Another recently uncovered bomb plot involved two teenage Palestinian girls, the Israeli military said.
