NETANYA, Israel - A suicide bomber blew himself up in a hotel dining room in this Israeli coastal resort on Wednesday as guests gathered for a Passover Seder, the ritual evening meal ushering in the Jewish holiday. Police said 15 people were killed and more than 100 wounded.

The Islamic militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack in a phone call to the Arab television station Al-Jazeera. The claim by Hamas' military wing, Izzedin al-Qassam, could not be verified independently.

The attack threatened to derail the latest U.S. truce mission, which survived two suicide attacks last week. An adviser to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said that while Israel was trying to reach a truce, it would have to reassess its policy in light of the latest attack.

The blast went off Wednesday evening, when the dining hall of the Park Hotel along Netanya's boardwalk was crowded with guests marking the Passover Seder. A suicide bomber entered the hotel and crossed the lobby to the dining hall, where he blew himself up, said a local police chief, Aharon Franko.

The explosion tore through the ground floor of the hotel, blowing out walls and overturning tables and chairs. Bits of rubble and wires dangled from the ceiling. Some of the wounded were seen staggering out of the lobby, which was plunged into darkness by the explosion.

One man with blood dripping from his face was covered by a blue blanket. An elderly woman, her face also bloodied, sat on the sidewalk, attended to by several people.

Witnesses said they saw five bodies lined up on the pavement, some of them dismembered, including that of a woman in festive holiday clothes.

Police said 15 people were killed and more than 100 wounded - one of the deadliest suicide bombings in the past 18 months of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.

Netanya, about 30 miles north of Tel Aviv and 10 miles west of the West Bank town of Tulkarem, has been a frequent target of Palestinian attackers in the past 18 months of violence between Israel and the Palestinians.

Israeli police had been on high alert for possible attacks during the Passover holiday, with more than 10,000 officers deployed in potential trouble spots.

It was not immediately clear whether the attack would derail the truce mission of U.S. envoy Anthony Zinni. Israel has said repeatedly it could not tolerate more attacks on its civilians. Earlier this week, Sharon convened his security Cabinet to discuss possible options in the event the truce mission fails. One idea raised was a large-scale military operation in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

Israel has held Arafat responsible for the string of recent attacks, saying he has done nothing to rein in militants.

Raanan Gissin, a Sharon adviser, said the attack "will require us to reevaluate our overall policy."

"We are still working to achieve a cease-fire to which we are fully committed, but if the Palestinians have decided to choose the road of terrorism ... then we have to decide what measures we will take," Gissin said.

There was no immediate Palestinian comment.

The bombing came just hours after Saudi Crown Prince Abdullah presented a new peace initiative at the Arab summit in Beirut, offering Israel normal relations with the Arab world in exchange for a complete withdrawal from the territories it occupied in the 1967 Mideast war.

Arafat, who remains confined to the West Bank by Israel, embraced the initiative in a televised speech and said he hoped it would be adopted by the summit. END

This horrible attack during the Jewish holiday week of Passover has struck a cord not heard since the 1967 Six Day War and displays the callus indifference of the PLO. Israel will abandon the talks for now and exact a heavy bombardment. Short of divine intervention we are on the verge of all out war in the Middle East.
