March 1996 CE
Israel launches a determined crackdown against the fundamentalists in the wake of the suicide bombings, sealing off the Palestinian areas from Israel proper and imposing an internal closure on four hundred and sixty-five Palestinian communities as Israeli security forces conduct house-to-house searches.
Arafat, warned by the Israelis that continued violence could subvert the entire peace process, also clamps down on the fundamentalists.
