The death toll of Tuesday's suicide bombing in the coastal town of Netanya rose to four on Wednesday, as Anna Lifshitz, a 50-year-old Netanya resident, died of her wounds. Three other women were killed in the attack, and at least 90 people wounded.

The three other victims were Yulia Weltshin, 31, of Netanya, and Rachel Ben Abu and Nofar Horvitz, two 16-year-old girls from Tel Aviv. By Wednesday morning, 30 people were still hospitalized, three in serious condition and three in moderate condition. The rest were lightly hurt.

Early Wednesday morning, IDF troops raided the West Bank city of Tul Karm, the area from which the suicide bomber, an Islamic Jihad activist, was sent to carry out the terror attack. The IDF said the operation was aimed at arresting those Islamic Jihad activists responsible for the bombing.
Two armed Palestinians were killed and one was wounded in the Tul Karm raid, witnesses said. Two IDF soldiers sustained light wounds in the operation, and were taken to Beilinson Hospital in Petah Tikva. Five Islamic Jihad militants have been apprehended since the bombing, and the IDF seized some arms and explosives in Tul Karm."
