Even more clear today that both sides are at fault, there's no Ghandi here, Sharon is a jerk, Arafat is a jerk, and the USA must reduce its dependence on foreign oil, develop alternative energy sources, and get outta the middle east!
Israel fires at West Bank market
4 reported killed; shoppers thought curfew had ended
NBC, MSNBC AND NEWS SERVICES
June 21 — Israeli forces fired on a market in the West Bank city of Jenin on Friday, reportedly killing four people and wounding dozens after Palestinians mistakenly thought a curfew had been lifted, Palestinian witnesses said. Ambulances raced to a local hospital, where officials said they were overwhelmed by the number of casualties.
“PEOPLE THOUGHT the curfew was no longer on. They got hungry and wanted bread, so they went to the market to buy some. The Israelis opened fire,” said Jenin’s acting governor, Haider Irsheid.
The Israeli army had no immediate comment.
Hospital officials said a six and 12-year-old brother were killed, as well as a 6-year-old girl and the deputy director of the city’s department of education. The four were killed by a combination of tank shells and gunfire.
Many children were among the 24 people injured, said Mohammed Abu Ghali, director of Jenin Governmental Hospital.
Israeli troops moved into Jenin late Tuesday, after 19 Israelis were killed in a suicide bombing in Jerusalem that prompted a major government policy shift to gradually reoccupy Palestinian land until terror attacks on Israeli civilians stop.
