Isabel Kershner reports that "Israeli security officials said they were treating the killings as a probable nationalist attack by Palestinians." I am doubtful that Israeli security officials described these killings as a "nationalist attack." They more likely described it as a terrorist attack, but Kershner took the liberty to call it a nationalist attack. An article in the Israeli press confirms that those responsible for the killings were part of a terrorist group called Imad Mughniyeh.
To Kershner's credit, she links Imad Mughniyeh's attack to the Israeli Defense Force's easing of travel restrictions for Palestinians around Nablus, a fact that strengthens Israel's position as administrator of these territories.
