Palestinian girl killed at funeral G Reuters JERUSALEM - Israeli troops shot and killed a Palestinian girl today during a funeral at a refugee camp in the occupied West Bank, Palestinians said. Rufida Abu Laban, 17, of Dhei- sheh refugee camp was shot in the head and was dead on arrival at a hospital in Bethlehem, doctors said.
At least, 438 Arabs have been killed in the 16-month uprising against Israeli rule of the West Bank and Gaza strip. Seventeen Jews have also died: An army spokesman said it was checking reports of shootings at the Dheisheh camp. A spokesman at a Jerusalem hospital said a 16-year- old boy from Dheisheh had arrived in serious condition with a bullet wound to the head.
Arab news agencies quoted resi- dents as saying Abu Laban was shot at the funeral of a 17-year-old youth killed by troops yesterday.
