  • Story Text: As firefights between Palestinians and Israeli troops
    continue in the West Bank and Gaza for a second day, Israeli
    Prime Minister Ehud Barak says the peace process can still be
    revived.



    Elsewhere, Six Israeli Arabs, one Israeli Jew and
    six Palestinians died in violence that swept the West Bank,
    Gaza Strip and Arab towns in Israel on Monday, bringing the
    total death toll to 42 in five days of unrest.

    Of those killed, 33 were Palestinians, seven were Israeli
    Arabs, one an Israeli border policeman and an Israeli Jewish
    civilian.

    Israeli police killed an Arab, shooting him in the head
    during clashes in the Israeli Arab town of Um al-Fahem on
    Monday. Hospital sources said a 17-year-old boy from the town
    also died of his wounds.

    An Israeli Arab from Nazareth was shot dead in clashes
    with Israeli police, Israeli security sources said. Three
    Israeli Arabs were killed in violence near the northern town
    of Sakhnin, medical officials said.

    Gunmen shot dead an Israeli Jew in the West Bank on
    Monday. Israeli police said the 30-year-old man, killed at the
    entrance to the West Bank village of Bidya, was probably
    attacked by Palestinians but checks were still being made.

    He was the first Jewish civilian to be killed in the
    violence.

    A 17-year-old Palestinian civilian and a Palestinian
    security man, aged 25, were killed at the volatile Netzarim
    junction in the Palestinian-ruled Gaza Strip, hospital sources
    said.

    Medical sources said a 24-year-old Palestinian policeman
    was shot dead by Israeli troops confronting Palestinian
    stone-throwers near a Jewish West Bank settlement close to
    Jericho. A 17-year-old Palestinian was killed in a clash in
    the West Bank town of Jenin, hospital officials said.

    Two Palestinians were killed in clashes outside the West
    Bank town of Jericho, officials said.
