NEW YORK (Dow Jones)---A suicide bomber blew himself up Wednesday evening in a hotel in the Israeli coastal resort of Netanya as guests gathered for a Passover Seder, killing 10 people and injuring 70 others, Fox News reported.

Reports from news networks said the bomber set the device off in the foyer of the hotel.

Some of the wounded were seen staggering staggered out of the lobby, which was plunged into darkness by the explosion, the Associated Press repored. One man was covered by a blue blanket, and had blood dripping from his face, said witness Joel Leyden.

Netanya Mayor Miram Feyerberg said it was impossible to prevent such attacks. "This is a city that can be infiltrated from many different directions. It's simply unbelievable," she said.

Leyden said he saw five bodies lined up on the sidewalk outside the hotel. One was that of a woman dressed in her holiday best. Paramedics said at least 51 people were wounded, some of them critically.

It marked the second time in little over two weeks that a Netanya hotel was targeted. On March 9, two Palestinians opened fire on the Jeremy hotel in Netanya, killing two Israelis, including a baby and wounding dozens of guests. The assailants were killed by police.

It's Holy Week. Is nothing sacred any more?

[DoughtyOne]

That figure of ten is sure to rise, as they dig out. At least that's what Fox was reporting. Why oh why doesn't Bush speak out after the Palestinian violence, like the does right after Israel strikes back? Only a few times, and mostly recently has he done so. He should do so every time!

[SiliconValleyGuy]

Sharon himself is one of Israel's worst enemies. His weakness can't be tolerated much longer.

[weikel]

Plz tell me why Israel hasn't begun the "transfer" yet.

[NautiNurse]

Death toll up to 15 now, with 70 injured.

[1Old Pro]

Enough is enough. Israel should bomb Arafat, not his empty office.

[dead]

Get your checkbook out, Saddam:

Saddam stokes war with suicide bomber cash ($25,000 reward for killing themselves and Jews!)

[Roger_W_Isom]

it is now being reported on Fox at least 15 people were KILLED.....

[Thane_Banquo]

Latest AP report is 15 dead and 100 injured. This might end up being the worst attack yet.

Yasir Arafat is a dead man.

[Woodkirk]

Note to Mr. Bush: "I read your lips and so did a lot of others. You said 'If you harbor a terrorist, you are a terrorist, and we are coming after you". Arafat is a terrorist and he harbors terrorists. When are you going after him?"

[Digger]

See the results of appeasement. GO FOR IT Sharon. These terrorists have proven that there are no options. And GW better get his act together here at home & shut these commies up or he will be looking for a job in two years.

[isthisnickcool]

These people are such chicken$hi--s! Cut from the same exact cloth as the vermin that killed innocent men, women, children and infants on 9/11. godless dirt! Israel should just sweep them away.

This isn't going to stop. Arafat won't stop. So he must be stopped. That's a start.

Civilized peoples don't allow murder such as this to continue over and over and over. Look at our response to 9/11. At a minimum shouldn't Israel have the same options we have used?

[ambrose]

Thank you, George W. Bush, for coddling these blood thirsty butchers.

[Sloth]

And people wonderred WHY the ISRAELIS REFUSED TO LET ARAFART GO TO THIS " SUMMITT"?????

A better question is why they continue to allow him to live and breathe.

[doug from upland]

Any compassion I had left for the Palestinians is completely gone. Israel needs to do whatever it takes to end this problem.

Justin Raimondo, we don't want to hear your crap.

[mafree]

I'm completely sick of this violence over there and am not sure what the solution is. Killing Arafart will only make things worse IMO but I'm not sure I'd be upset if someone did it.

[AIBC]

I wished Bush took very energetic diplomatic steps to end the Intifada and help the Israelis out instead of wining how disappointed he was. If he does no do that he will send a message that TERRORISM WORKS!

[Michael2001]

I just checked my mail about five minutes ago. I had a postcard from an Israeli friend wishing me a happy Easter and saying he hoped for a quiet Passover. Obviously sent before all this happened. Very sad. I wonder when the Israeli government is going to get it together and actually do something.

May the Easter Bunny give Arafat a 2,000-lb. thermobaric Easter egg.
