A Palestinian armed with an assault rifle, grenades and a knife killed three Israelis and wounded 25 at a Tel Aviv restaurant Tuesday, triggering a day of revenge attacks without end in the Middle East. Israel retaliated for a dizzying array of Palestinian attacks by launching air raids in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. A sharply rising death toll prompted talk of open warfare and increased the urgency of international peace efforts. Subitted for your battle for Jerusalem files.
