Israelis Die in West Bank Gun Attack

JERUSALEM (AP) ? Seven Israelis were killed and four seriously wounded Sunday in a Palestinian shooting attack in the West Bank, Israeli radio reported.

The attack took place at an Israeli army roadblock near the Palestinian village of Silwad, Israel radio and army radio said.

Motorist Eli Barashi said he was about 300 yards from the checkpoint at the time.

''I heard shooting and I saw the soldiers firing back to the east. As I stood there somebody was hit and fell and shouted for a medic. He was about five yards from me. One man who came out of a building was also hit. I couldn't be of any use so I turned round and left to get help,'' Barashi told Israel Radio.

Jewish settler leaders said the victims were soldiers and civilians waiting at the checkpoint.

The shooting came just 12 hours after a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up in a crowded ultra-Orthodox Jewish neighborhood of Jerusalem, killing nine people, including several children.

There was relative peace until sharon went to Temple Mount with a 1000 army and police body guard. He hoped to start a violent protest and then rode the violence to an election victory.
As long as Sharon is in office there will be ever escalating violence.

Very true. However, Arafat doesn't seem to be in control of his people or else he doesn't want peace either.
