Palestinian police enforced the informal truce with Israel as the two sides agreed for the first time in months to hold a meeting between top commanders on security cooperation. But as officials from both sides indicated a willingness to abide by a ceasefire, Palestinian gunmen and Israeli soldiers exchanged fire in Hebron. An Israeli tank fired four shells at the gunmen who shot first from a hilltop towards a Jewish enclave, the army said. The Palestinians claimed the soldiers had fired first. Five Palestinians were injured, one seriously. Israeli officials said the incident would probably not hamper joint efforts at a truce, which was announced by Yasser Arafat. Israel responded to the declaration by withdrawing tanks and troops from areas around Palestinian cities. The army said it would not respond to shooting by Palestinians unless soldiers' lives were threatened. http://www.ananova.com/news/story/sm_403007.html _________________________________________________ KOMINFORM P.O.
