Transcribed from the clipping

“JENIN, West Bank — Israeli troops and Palestinian militants fought for hours in the occupied West Bank on Monday… Israel captured the West Bank in the 1967 Mideast war, along with east Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip. Palestinians seek those territories for a future independent state.

Israel has been staging near-nightly raids in the West Bank in response to a spasm of Palestinian violence early last year…”

Context added by this archive

Fifth headline off one file, and the shortest way of saying it: five Palestinians killed in a raid. This is also the only one of the five that keeps the standing paragraph in which the agency itself says why the raids are happening.

The clipping belongs to the newspaper that printed it, or to the news agency that supplied the copy. It is reproduced here for research, criticism and commentary. A city here is where the newspaper was published, not where the story came from, and on most records it was taken from the masthead.
