| In the latest military action, Israeli troops backed by 10 tanks entered the northern West Bank village of Al-Yamun west of Jenin. Iyad Sammudi, a 28-year-old Palestinian policeman, was killed when the Israelis began shooting. Four other people were wounded and the army took two of them to an undisclosed location. Israeli troops conducted house-to-house searches for activists in Jenin. There were no immediate reports of arrests. In Gaza strip, three Palestinians were wounded when Israeli troops fired on their car near the Netzarim settlement, a Palestinian security source said. Israeli officials said only one was wounded and all three arrested. The IDF is probably getting bored with this, except when one of their own is killed. |
