Day 42 : Wednesday 08.11.2000
At least three more Palestinian youths were killed by Israeli occupation
soldiers . In Gaza, two youths were shot and killed by Israeli occupation
soldiers during protests near the Egypt-Palestine borders. A third
Palestinian, a 13-year-old child was also killed by Israeli bullets at the
village of Kefel Hares, near Nablus. Two more Palestinians died of injuries
they sustained earlier this week near al Mintar crossing, bringing the
total number of Palestinian martyrs since the outset of the uprising to
188. The number of the injured exceeded the 7000-figure, with hundreds
sustaining serious wounds.
A Jewish settler was killed and another seriously injured when the car they
were driving was attacked by Palestinian guerrillas near Gaza airport. One
woman settler was immediately killed and her friend seriously injured. The
Israeli helicopter gunships were seen hovering over Palestinian population
centers in the area.

main highway outside Nablus used primarily by Jewish settlers. The boy's
brother said they were standing at the roadside when a car with Israeli
license plates deliberately drove at them. (Photo 3)
