Israeli-Palestinian carnage intensifies
2002-03-05
  • Five Israelis and three Palestinians were killed in four separate incidents before the day was half over Tuesday, putting the toll for the past week at more than 80. The day started with an attack in the small hours on a restaurant in Tel Aviv by a Palestinian gunman, who killed three Israelis and wounded up to 20 before being shot dead himself by police. Then a Palestinian police officer was killed and two others wounded by the Israeli army during an incursion into Dura near Hebron in the West Bank. The officers were part of the Force 17 guard of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Soon afterwards a suicide bomber blew himself up on a bus in Afula, northern Israel, also killing one Israeli. At about the same time an Israeli woman settler was shot dead by Palestinians and her husband wounded as they drove in a car near the West Bank city of Bethlehem.
