| July 2, 2004 -- JERUSALEM — Five armed Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces in gun battles that lasted for hours yesterday in the Gaza Strip. The Palestinians were stopped near the Netzarim junction after they apparently tried to penetrate an army outpost or Jewish settlement there, authorities said. The shootout came during a violent day in which Israeli forces launched raids in the West Bank town or Jericho and the Gaza refugee camp of Rafah. Col. Roni Belkin, who led the Jericho offensive, said the town had "turned into a terrorist shelter" in recent months. His men arrested at least 30 wanted Palestinians, including a man the army said killed an Israeli teenager lured to the West Bank in 2001 by romantic e-mails sent to him by a Palestinian girl. that was an old case - nice grab In Rafah, Palestinian sources said the Israeli army was responsible for the death of a 9-year-old boy, Omar Mohammed Zaran, who was caught in a crossfire. Also, in the northern Gaza town of Beit Hanoun, Israeli helicopters fired two missiles at militants who planted explosives near Israeli ground troops, the army said. Palestinians said seven people were injured. Hopefully it’s painful, like shrapnel in the gut |
