Still more West Bank fighting...
2002-04-06
  • Fighting spread Saturday through the alleys of densely populated West Bank refugee camps, where Palestinian militants reportedly were handing out explosives-packed belts to residents willing to strap them on and challenge Israeli soldiers. Israeli forces continued to surround Balata refugee camp in Nablus, and at a camp in Jenin, another northern West Bank city, residents said Israeli helicopter gunships targeting anything that moved were keeping people inside.

    Outside the siege area, Palestinian militants also attacked a heavily fortified Israeli settlement in the Gaza Strip early Saturday with guns and grenades, according to Israeli army officials. An Israeli soldier was killed and four were injured, they said. Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility and said two of its militants were killed.
