Two Palestinian farmers killed by Israeli fire
Transcribed from the clipping
JERUSALEM — Israeli tank fire killed two Palestinian farmers in the Gaza Strip on Monday, and soldiers arrested a leader of Yasser Arafat's Fatah group on the West Bank. Meanwhile, an opinion poll indicated that Palestinians are increasingly feeling the economic pinch of their 28-month-old conflict with Israel.
In the village of Abassan in the Gaza Strip, Israeli tanks fired shells and machine guns in an open area, killing two men, ages 60 and 29, and wounding four others with shrapnel and gunshots, Palestinian security officials said. The Israeli military said the shots were fired about 60 yards from a restricted border fence.
