Fourth day of Mideast clashes kills 3, injures 60

Published: 1 October 2000 y., Sunday
Families of some of about 20 Palestinians killed since Thursday began burying their dead, while continued violence was reported in the West Bank towns of Hebron and Ramallah, Kessel said. For the first time since the clashes began,Kessel reported, Israeli soldiers were fighting Israeli Arab protesters in the northern Israeli city of Nazareth. Some 500 Palestinians have been injured since Thursday, when Palestinian protests were sparked by Israeli right-wing Likud Party leader Ariel Sharon's visit to Jerusalem's Temple Mount -- known to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif (Noble Sanctuary) and the third holiest shrine in Islam. Israel says 11 members of its security forces have been wounded.

"Saudi Arabia condemns the brutal assaults inflicted on Palestinian citizens in Jerusalem by Israeli occupation forces," the Saudi Press Agency quoted an official statement as saying on Friday night. Persian Gulf media railed against the "horrific massacre" of Palestinians in Jerusalem and one newspaper in Qatar said the killings showed Israel was still the Arabs' foe.
