| In the West Bank, two civilians were injured in a gunfight when police sought to search a car belonging to members of Arafat's Fatah movement. Israeli tanks retook positions in the Palestinian-ruled cities of Nablus and Ramallah that they had left earlier in the day. The Palestinian Authority said the return undermined efforts to rein in militants. Palestinians fired at Israeli tanks re-entering an area on the outskirts of Nablus, and a Palestinian was killed when the army returned fire. Israeli military sources said the tanks were ambushed. |
