Israeli Strike Kills Seven Palestinians in Jenin

HeadlineMay 15, 2006

> In the West Bank town of Jenin, thousands of Palestinians gathered today for the funeral of seven Palestinians killed by Israeli forces on Sunday. Among the dead was a leading militant from the group Islamic Jihad who was accused of being connected to last month’s suicide bombing in Tel Aviv that killed 11 people. Meanwhile Israel’s high court has upheld a controversial law that can block Palestinians residents of the West Bank or Gaza Strip from moving to Israel in order to live with their spouse — even if their spouse has Israeli citizenship.
