GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip - Palestinian militants blew up an Israeli armored personnel carrier Tuesday, killing six Israeli soldiers in one of the fiercest battles in Gaza City in recent months. Five Palestinians were killed and 88 wounded in the fighting.
(Reuters) - Palestinians accused the United States on Friday of granting Israel a license to kill by vetoing U.N. condemnation of its assassination of Hamas leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin. Israeli forces, taking action after the Islamic militant group said it would launch "earthquake-like" attacks to avenge Yassin's death, killed two Hamas frogmen who came ashore overnight near a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip. Palestinians denounced the U.S. veto and thousands demonstrated in the West Bank and Gaza Strip to protest Yassin's killing.
