In Ramallah, a hospital official said a Palestinian man was shot dead in his home Saturday by an Israeli sniper.

Good hunting! I notice that the article doesn't say what the guy was doing or what groups he was associated with. If the Israelis felt the need to snipe a guy at his house, it's a good bet that the guy is guilty of doing something besides watching TV.

Palestinian militants reportedly were handing out explosives-packed belts to residents willing to strap them on and challenge Israeli soldiers..."All the factions have distributed explosive belts and hand grenades to the people of the camp to defend themselves." ...Israeli troops fired on a Palestinian man early Saturday in Jenin who had explosives strapped to his body, causing a blast that killed only the man.

May they strap on explosive belts and follow "the man"'s example.

Fighting spread Saturday through the alleys of densely populated West Bank refugee camps, where Palestinian militants reportedly were handing out explosives-packed belts to residents willing to strap them on and challenge Israeli soldiers.

They are getting desperate.

Mohammed Abu Ghali, director of a Jenin hospital, said Israeli tanks were not allowing ambulances to evacuate the dead and wounded from the camp.

Perhaps NOW they will understand why it was a really, really stupid move to use an ambulance to hide a bomb and to transport suicide bombers. There is a reason why the international community has allowed free access to ambulances and doctors, but these people have violated that unspoken rule. They are now paying the price for keeping quiet while this abomination was done.
