In the West Bank, the Israeli military is coming under domestic criticism after an unarmed Israeli Jewish protester was shot with live ammunition on Friday. The shooting came during a peaceful demonstration against the massive new wall that Israel is building through much of the West Bank. The young man was shot in both legs and remains hospitalized. The Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting the shooting marks the first time the Israel army has targeted Israeli Jews with live ammunition during the three-year-old intifada. An American protester was also shot. Meanwhile Israel has sealed off the West Bank and Gaza following a suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that killed four. The bombing, the first such attack in two months, came after Israeli forces killed at least 16 Palestinians in Gaza. In the Rafah refugee camp, Israeli forces killed 10 Palestinians. And in Gaza City, five Palestinians died when Israeli gunships assassinated a leader of the Palestinian group Islamic Jihad.
