Life got back to normal at Tel Aviv's Sarona Market over the long Shavuot holiday weekend, just days after two Palestinian terrorists killed four Israelis there in a shooting attack. Thousands of Israelis visited Sarona Market over the weekend and it was hard to find an empty table at Max Brenner and Benedict -- the two restaurants at which patrons came under fire during Wednesday's attack. "Terrorism has become more sophisticated," said Irit Friedman, 62, a resident of the U.S. currently vacationing Israel. Uri Velner, a 29-year-old doctoral student at Stanford University, said, "I have no fear of cafes in Israel because I know it can happen anywhere. But it certainly does seem Tel Aviv has been targeted recently." Lushi Tzvi, a 74-year-old resident of Petach Tikva, said he had never heard of Sarona Market before Wednesday's attack. "I was interested to see the place and I'm not scared to walk anywhere in the country," he said. On Friday, Yesh Atid leader Yair Lapid joined a group of foreign diplomats on a visit to Sarona Market. "This is a battle between two cultures," Lapid said. "One loves democracy and the energy of people who simply want to live, while the other celebrated death and destruction."
