THE BATTALIO!E
Israeli attacks continue
despite upcoming elections
By Ibrahim Hazboun
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
RAMALLAH, West Bank
(AP) — Yasser Arafat called for
an end to attacks against Israeli
civilians in the two weeks before
Israeli elections, but an Israeli
official on Saturday rejected the
gesture as inadequate.
Early Sunday, Israeli tanks
and troops moved into the Gaza
city of Khan Younis and an
adjacent refugee camp, with
clashes between Israeli forces
and gunmen, Palestinians said.
Seven people were wounded,
hospital officials said. The
Israeli military would say only
that an operation was under
way there.
Palestinian security chief
Maj. Gen. Abdel Razek Majaidie
said it was one of the largest and
“most dangerous” Israeli opera
tions in recent months.
On Saturday, a Palestinian
was killed in a clash with Israeli
soldiers in the West Bank and
two Palestinian teenagers were
caught infiltrating a Gaza Strip
settlement.
A statement released by
Arafat’s Cabinet late Friday was
a rare reference to Israel’s Jan.
28 elections. It called on
Palestinians “to show their
restraint and not to allow them
selves to be dragged along by
the Israeli elections and (Israeli)
provocation.”
As in the past, the statement
did not define “civilians.”
Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
and others often have con
demned suicide bomb attacks
inside Israel, but they rarely
speak out against attacks
against Israeli settlers in the
West Bank and Gaza Strip.
Palestinians consider the set
tlers trespassers on land they
claim for a state.
Israeli official Done Gold
rejected the statement. “What
Israel needs is a cease-fire and a
cessation of violence — full
stop,” he said. “A halt to vio
lence cannot be limited geo
graphically or within a certain
period of time.”
Upsurges of Palestinian vio
lence have benefited hard-line
Israeli parties, like Prime
Minister Ariel Sharon’s Likud.
Sharon, once favored to win re-
election easily, has seen his
party’s lead evaporate in the
wake of scandals over alleged
election corruption.
Also Saturday. Israeli sol
diers opened fire at Palestinians
throwing stones and firebombs
at their armored vehicles in the
Askar refugee camp next to the
West Bank city of Nablus.
Basman Shanir, 20, was killed
and nine other people were
wounded, witnesses said.
The army said Shanir threw a
firebomb at troops. Soldiers have
permission to fire at Palestinians
throwing firebombs, considered
lethal weapons by the Israeli
military.
A double suicide bombing in
Tel Aviv on Sunday that killed
22 people led the Israeli govern
ment to ban a Palestinian dele
gation from attending a confer
ence in London next week of
foreign diplomats to focus on
Palestinian reforms. Instead, the
Palestinians will have to com
municate from home.
Representatives of the
European Union, the United
States, Russia and the United
Nations will meet with British
Foreign Minister Jack Straw and
Prime Minister Tony Blair in
London on Tuesday.
Straw said Palestinian
Information Minister Yasser
Abed Rabbo, Minister of
Planning and International Co
operation Nabil Shaath and
Gaza City,
Israeli forces killed
four Palestinians in
military strikes Sunday
