NPR's Linda Gradstein reports that three Israeli soldiers were killed today in the West Bank by terrorists who allegedly came from and fled back to Jordan. The attack raises the possibility that newly elected Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (n'tahn-YAH-hoo) might strike back somewhere given that his recent election campaign focused on the issue of security. The attack came a day after Netanyahu met with U.S. Secretary of State Warren Christopher, during which Netanyahu reaffirmed his tough line on security and peace with the Palestinians and his Arab neighbors.
