HeadlineSep 16, 2004

Israeli forces killed 10 Palestinians yesterday in the deadliest day in the West Bank for Palestinians in more than two years. In Nablus, Israel killed five Palestinian militants and an 11 year-old girl. Later in Jenin, two Palestinian civilians, a police officer and one militant was killed in an attack on a car repair shop. Meanwhile Palestinians are marking the 22nd anniversary of the * Sabra and Shatila+* massacre this week. In 1982 up to 2,000 unarmed Palestinian refugees were slaughtered near Beirut by Lebanese Christian militia forces allied to Israeli forces. At the time Gen. Ariel Sharon was the Israel’s Defense Minister.
