  • Story Text: Scores of Palestinians have been wounded as Palestinian
    protesters fought running battles with Israeli soldiers firing
    rubber-coated metal bullets the West Bank for the fifth day
    running. In the West Bank city of Ramallah, Israeli troops
    brought up tanks and heavy weapons, and faced armed Palestinian police
    in a tense standoff.



    Palestinian police and Israeli soldiers guarding a
    Jewish settlement in Gaza exchanged fire in a shoot-out
    involving heavy machine-gun and rocket fire directed from the
    ground and from Israeli helicopters.

    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.

    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, 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 clashing with Palestinian
    stone-throwers near a Jewish West Bank settlement close to
    Jericho.

    Of those killed during the unrest, 30 were Palestinians,
    four were Israeli Arabs, one an Israeli border policeman and
    one an Israeli Jewish civilian.
