Sharon urged to make tough response
Israel Radio quoted Sharon as saying during a visit with troops in the West Bank city that Israel should create "territorial continuity" between Hebron and the adjacent Jewish settlement of Kiryat Arba, where last Friday's attack took place.
Such a move could entail razing Palestinian homes, a measure certain to put Mr Sharon at odds with Israel's main ally, the United States. Mr Sharon has sought to avoid such confrontation with Washington since taking office in March 2001.
