Security forces reported the arrest of 4 East Jerusalem Arabs involved in last year's bombing of Jerusalem’s Hillel Café last year that killed an American-born doctor, his daughter and 5 others.
The terrorists helped gather information on targets for the terror gang and helped collect arms more than a year before the September attack that killed Dr. David Applebaum, formerly of Cleveland, and his daughter Nava, who was to be married the next day. Dr. Applebaum was an ordained rabbi and was director of the emergency room at Jerusalem’s Shaarei Tzedek Hospital
Since the beginning of 2004, 51 East Jerusalem residents have been arrested for terrorism, much more than in previous years. The latest arrests were announced more than a month after the four were nabbed. They told security forces they hid a belt of explosives hidden in a crate of grapes and drove the suicide bomber to the popular restaurant. The Arabs live adjacent to the French Hill area, where they fled after dropping off the suicide bomber at about 11 p.m. More than 60 were injured.
Eyewitnesses at the attack said one of the security guards at the Hillel Café unsuccessfully tried to prevent the terrorist from entering the restaurant. Shortly before the attack, security guards at a nearby pizza place prevented him from going inside, and he fled to the Hillel Café before anyone could be alerted.
The East Jerusalem terrorists were part of a larger Hamas gang, some of whom were arrested three months ago. They also were behind the deadly blast at a Tel Aviv bus stop earlier this year and were planning more terrorist attacks.
It's hard to go anywhere in Jerusalem without passing the scene of a terrorist attack.

What a beautiful girl....looks just like her dad.
I remember this one too. It added to my already ample supply of hatred for these evil "people". Yeah, let's give them a country of their own. How nuts is that?!
Glad to hear of the arrest of these evil doers. Since Israel doesn't have the death penalty (except in cases like Eichmann), maybe such criminals could be sent to Texas. Texas doesn't seem to have any hangups in metting out justice to murderers.
I remember Jerusalem from my 1986 visit to Israel; it is a beautiful city, and I fell in love with it. Very sad that nowa days, anywhere one goes in it, one passes a place where a terrorists murdered people.

JERUSALEM - The staff of Shaare Zedek Medical Center quickly swung into action Tuesday night when their pagers sounded with news of a suicide bombing. Then the train of ambulances arrived, and patients crying in agony began filling examination rooms and hallways.
But one key physician was missing from the scene. Dr. David Applebaum, the chief of the emergency room who usually bursts through the doors moments after an attack, did not arrive in those first minutes.
"My heart prophesied that something was wrong," Dr. Yonatan Halevy, the hospital's director, said yesterday.
Applebaum's wife, Debra, came to the hospital Tuesday night to report that her husband and their daughter had been on Emek Rafaim Street in Jerusalem, where a Palestinian had detonated a bomb at Cafe Hillel, killing eight people, including himself.
Applebaum was among the dead. So was his 20-year-old daughter Nava. He had taken her to the cafe for a talk to mark a special occasion, the night before she was to marry.
Yesterday, hundreds of people invited to the wedding went to a double funeral instead.
