Reuters. 1 April 2002. Foreign Marchers Hurt as Israeli Troops Open
Fire.

BEIT JALA -- Five foreign peace activists and a Palestinian television
cameraman were injured by shrapnel Monday when Israeli soldiers opened
fire at their feet during a march, officials and witnesses said.

Firing started when about 100 demonstrators, including Palestinians and
foreigners, marched near a church in the center of the West Bank town of
Beit Jala, carrying a sign saying "We want peace not war," witnesses
said.

The director of Beit Jala hospital, Dr. Peter Qumri, confirmed five
marchers had been wounded.

He said one woman was undergoing an operation to remove shrapnel from
her abdomen.

A Palestinian cameraman working for the Associated Press was also
wounded in the leg, colleagues said. He had been covering the march.

The Israeli army said it was checking the report.
