An Israeli officer was killed by fire from a refugee camp. Six Palestinians were killed in several clashes, with dozens more wounded. Israel feels that the Palestinians are using Kosovo as a model, trying to use the higher number of Palestinians to get the international community to send in a peacekeeping force. The Israelis have responded by using small commando units to go after the key leaders of the armed Palestinian militias. Near Hebron, a bomb exploded in front of an Israeli bus, but no one was injured. An Israeli motorist was killed by gunfire near Nablus.
