Jerusalem, July 11: An Israeli officer and a
Palestinian teenager were killed in separate clashes on Wednesday
despite a lull in violence that has raised hopes for reviving
peace talks.
The violence came amid efforts to keep incipient
Palestinian-Israeli talks on track and inter-Arab
consultations ahead of an international gathering next week on
the middle east crisis.
The meeting in New York will involve the United States, Russia, European union and the United Nations.
An Israeli army officer was fatally wounded today when Palestinian militants opened fire on his unit in the Gaza strip and a Palestinian teenager was killed by Israeli fire in the West Bank. In the West Bank, Rami Kutush, a 19-year-old refugee, was killed and two other Palestinians wounded by Israeli gunfire during clashes in the Askar camp near Nablus, Palestinian medical sources said.
Another Palestinian was shot and wounded by Israeli troops in the village of Alar, near Tulkarem, after they imposed a curfew on the village and began search operations, witnesses said.
