The Israelis used missiles after Palestinian police officers opened fire at an Israeli military outlook post on the borders between Gaza Strip and Egypt during the clashes between hundreds of stones throwers and Israeli soldiers. Palestinian medical sources confirmed that two Palestinian police officers arrived dead at Shifa Hospital in Gaza City, and at least 70 civilians and police officers were injured in the missile attack. Eyewitnesses in Rafah told United Press International that hundreds of Palestinians broke into the border area between Gaza and Egypt that is controlled by Israeli army patrols and an outlook post. They said that hundreds of protesters began to throw stones at the Israeli soldiers Sunday morning. The soldiers located along the borders responded by shooting tear gas and rubber bullets. The clashes continued, and when one of the Palestinian police officers was shot and injured, his colleagues began to shoot at the Israeli soldiers, said the eyewitnesses. The Israeli soldiers were located at the military tower on the borders and the Palestinian police officers were responding to the fire from the adjacent houses and also from their bases next to the borders. The Palestinians said that while both sides were trading fire, two Israeli military helicopters fired 15 anti-tank missiles at the two building of the military intelligence. The results, two killed and dozens injured. In Gaza, at Nitzarim crossroad, Palestinian police and Israeli soldiers traded fire, where Palestinians reported that one Palestinian police officer was killed and more than 60 people injured. In the West bank town on Nablus, a two Palestinians were killed, one a police officer who was killed when Israeli soldiers and Palestinian police officers traded fire near the grave of Josef out side the city of Nablus. Outside the West Bank city of Ramallah, three Palestinians were reported dead in the clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian police officers and Palestinian demonstrators. Palestinians said Israeli soldiers occupied the Palestinian Hotel City Inn at the entrance to Ramallah after they forced customers out and tried to disperse Palestinian police officers and demonstrators. Palestinian radio reported that the Israeli soldiers stationed 15 tanks outside the West Bank town of Nablus and were supported by three military helicopters near the grave of Josef outside Nablus City. Palestinians reported that the toll of Palestinians killed Sunday in the West Bank and Gaza reached to 10 Palestinians, and more than 300 injured by life ammunition and rubber-coated metal bullets. They are divided as follow: 2 in Gaza, 5 in Nablus, and 3 in Ramallah; four of them were Palestinian police officers and two were children. In the Israeli-Arab town of Omm El Fahem, Palestinian radio reported that two Israeli-Arabs were shot and killed in the protests and demonstrations that dominated most of the Israeli Arab towns and villages in the northern area of Israel. Hamas leader Isma'eel Abu Shanab called upon the Palestinian authority to release all Hamas militants and send them to carry out attacks into Israel as a respond to what he described, "killing innocent Palestinians in cold blood." Secretary General of the PA Cabinet accused the Israeli government that it is "committing massacres against our people in order to oblige them to accept the political solutions that Israel wants to impose on the Palestinians." -- Copyright 2000 by United Press International.
