| One Israeli killed in West Bank ambush |
| 2002-07-25 |
| One Israeli settler was killed and another sustained moderate injuries in a shooting attack early Thursday near the West Bank settlement of Alei Zahav. Palestinians fired, apparently from an ambush, at a car driving at around 4:00 A.M. One of the men in the car was critically injured and later died of his wounds, and another man was moderately injured and taken to Hospital. Israeli troops were conducting a search in the area, and the attackers are believed to have fled to the nearby Palestinian village of Burkin, Israel Radio reported. Fatah military wing, Al Aqsa Martyrs brigades, claimed responsibility for the attack saying it was in revenge for Israel's airstrike on the Gaza Strip. We guessed that. Howcome we always have to worry about starting a cycle of violence and they don't? |
