JERUSALEM - The Israeli military has reprimanded an officer for firing at an Associated Press photographer in an armored car bearing press markings in the West Bank City of Hebron 19 months ago.
The photographer, Elizabeth Dalziel, was not hurt in the shooting, which occurred on Oct. 5, 2001, after Israeli troops took over the Palestinian-controlled part of the city in response to what the army said was Palestinian shooting from the area.
Dalziel had passed an Israeli military checkpoint about 9 a.m. and entered the neighborhood of Abu Sneineh, where she encountered two Israeli armored personnel carriers and a tank.
JABALIYA REFUGEE CAMP, Gaza Strip - Israeli tanks and helicopters fired toward a Palestinian residential area in the northern Gaza Strip on Tuesday, killing three Palestinians and wounding 30, doctors said.
It was not immediately clear what prompted the Israeli fire. At about the same time, Palestinians fired six homemade rockets from northern Gaza, with four landing in Israel, including in the border town of Sderot, the Israeli military said.
The Palestinians killed Tuesday lived in an area between the town of Beit Hanoun and the Jabaliya refugee camp in northern Gaza, close to the border fence with Israel.
The three were identified as members of the Abed Rabbo family, two 19-year-old men and a 16-year-old girl. Dr. Moawiya Hassanain, director of Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, said 30 residents were wounded.
