More Middle East killings as Arab nations confer on crisis

Published: 21 October 2000 y., Saturday
Palestinian-Israeli clashes continued today and Palestinian mourners buried their dead as the 22-nation Arab League opened an emergency summit in Cairo, Egypt, to deal with the three-week-long Middle East crisis. Palestinian protesters fought with Israeli soldiers in Gaza and the West Bank on Saturday, leaving two Palestinians dead -- one in Hebron, West Bank, and one in Gaza, according to Palestinian hospital sources. Another Palestinian was clinically dead in a Ramallah, West Bank, hospital with a serious head wound. Meanwhile, in the West Bank town of Nablus, tens of thousands joined a funeral march for Palestinians killed in Friday's clashes. The Israeli army said on Saturday that soldiers had killed at least one Arab in a firefight on the Israel-Lebanon border, during the night. An Israeli government spokesman said he could not confirm reports that the man killed in border fighting was from the Iranian-backed Hezbollah group, which is holding four Israelis captive. In Lebanon, Hezbollah denied any association with Friday night's firefight. The army said soldiers unleashed missiles and attack helicopters opened fire with machine guns during the firefight.
