After two days of mourning, foreign minister Shimon Peres has taken up his duties as acting prime minister of Israel.

Peres left for work this morning at the prime minister's office in Jerusalem surrounded by bodyguards.

It was Shimon Peres' first day at work as Acting Prime Minister Tuesday.

Security has been stepped up around the former Foreign Minister after a number of death threats.

Such threats are being taken extremely seriously by a twitchy Security Service after a 25-year-old law student, Yigal Amir, broke through security ranks to shoot Yitzhak Rabin.

Rabin was the first head of state to be assassinated in Israel and to many his killing has marked the beginning of a new era.

Throughout the morning, Peres was visited by international heads-of-state who not only offered their condolences but messages of hope and support for the future.

Fear is mounting over the effect the recent assassination will have over the already shaky peace process.

Britain's Prime Minister John Major spent some time with Peres.

Afterwards, Peres told the press his top concern remained the peace process -- and elections came second.

SOUNDBITE: (English)

"For us the main consideration is the peace process and not the term of the government. I said yesterday and I will repeat it again - for us to win peace is more important even than to win the elections."

QUESTION : "So you won't go to elections now?"

ANSWER: "I shall continue with the process of peace as we have started and we shall go on."

Australia's President Paul Keating spent several minutes with Peres.

And Crown Prince Hassan of Jordan met the Israeli President.

The presence of so many Arab leaders has given rise to hopes that the peace Rabin was so instrumental in negotiating may have changed politics in the region for good.

But although Peres went back to work, mourning is far from over for the rest of the nation.

At the site of the assassination - Tel Aviv's Kikar Malkei square- thousands of mourning candles burnt brightly in the early morning sun.

Scores of Israeli's continue to stop and pay their respects to their fallen leader.

Some write notes - others leave flowers and wreaths. Some simply cry.

VOXPOP: (English)

"I still can't believe what has happened and that we can get back to the same everyday life. Rabin is dead and I still can't believe what is going on here and what is going to happen afterwards"

Israel had closed the Gaza strip and West Bank after the assassination fearing attacks by Islamic militants.

But some people Tuesday were being allowed through the strict security controls. Men over 35 had to show passes.

In a country which has lived with violence since its birth, Rabin's killing has merely added to the sense of insecurity.

STORYLINE:

On May 24th 2014 Pope Francis met with Jordanian King Abdullah II and his wife, Queen Rania in Amman.

The Pope started his three-day visit to the Middle East in Jordan, the country he thanked for welcoming hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the civil war in Syria.

***

Pope Francis took a 50 kilometre (31 mile) drive away from Amman on May 24th to make an emotional visit to the River Jordan and the site where Christians believe Christ was baptised by John the Baptist.

The Pontiff bowed his head and prayed on the river bank in silence before walking to the Latina Church to join a group of Syrian and Iraqi refugees and disabled youngsters.

Earlier, after meeting Jordan's King Hussein and Queen Rania, the Pope hosted an open air Mass for tens of thousands of worshippers.

***

Pope Francis on May 25th briefly prayed at the separation barrier surrounding the biblical West Bank town of Bethlehem.

Francis stopped at the barrier en route to Manger Square where he was to lead a Sunday mass for thousands of pilgrims.

The pope bowed his head in silent prayer at the massive concrete wall, which surrounds three sides of Bethlehem.

Israel says the barrier is necessary for its security but the Palestinians say it has stifled life in Bethlehem and engulfed land across the West Bank.

***

Pope Francis arrived in Tel Aviv, Israel, on May 25th, for the final leg of a Holy Land pilgrimage.

He was greeted upon his arrival at Ben Guiron airport by Israeli President Shimon Peres and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

"The right of the State of Israel to exist and to flourish in peace and security within internationally recognised borders must be universally recognised," said the pope during his address at the welcome ceremony.

In remarks to Israeli leaders, Francis added that "there is no other way" but to restart peace talks aiming for a two-state solution to the territorial conflict between Israel and Palestine.

Francis started the second day of his Middle East trip with a deeply symbolic decision to visit Bethlehem ahead of coming to Israel.

Previous popes have always visited the West Bank after first arriving in Tel Aviv.

Palestinian officials hailed Francis' decision to arrive first in Bethlehem, and to refer to the "state of Palestine."

In its official programme, the Vatican referred to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas as the president of the "state of Palestine," and his Bethlehem office as the "presidential palace."

Both Israelis and Palestinians have been trying to harness the Pope's standing as leader of the world's Roman Catholics to bolster their duelling narratives.

Francis, however, said his three-day Middle East visit is largely meant as a spiritual journey.

The pontiff on May 25th invited the Israeli and Palestinian Presidents to pay a symbolic visit to the Vatican next month to pray for peace.

The offices of Abbas and Peres quickly confirmed that they had accepted the invitation, with the Palestinians saying the meeting would take place in June.

The invitation - and the acceptances - were unexpected given Francis' insistence that his three-day visit was a "strictly religious" pilgrimage to commemorate a Catholic-Orthodox anniversary.

But it showed that the pope has been able to channel his immense popular appeal to be a moral force for peace, even though

the proposed meeting will be largely a symbolic affair.

Israeli-Palestinian peace talks broke down in late April, and there have been no public high-level meetings for a year.

Peres, a 90-year-old Nobel Peace laureate, is set to step down over the summer, and the meeting would take place shortly before he leaves office.

Peres, whose job is largely ceremonial, has no authority to negotiate peace, and the meeting will be merely symbolic.

But he nonetheless risks upsetting Netanyahu with the move.

***

Pope Francis on May 26th prayed at Jerusalem's Western Wall, the holiest place where Jews can pray, as he continued his visit to the Middle East.

He bowed his head as he touched the wall in the same gesture used a day earlier to pray at the Israeli barrier surrounding the biblical West Bank town of Bethlehem.

Francis spent a few minutes before the only remains of the biblical Second Temple and left a note inside an envelope in one of the cracks between the stones.

When St. John Paul II visited in 2000, he left a note asking forgiveness for the suffering inflicted on Jews by Christians over history.

Pope Benedict XVI's note prayed for peace for Christians, Muslims and Jews alike.

The Vatican hasn't said if the contents of Francis' prayer would be released.

"William and Kate met in their first week of University because they were both at St Andrews studying history of art, but at that time Kate was going out with someone else, in fact (was just) a friend of Williams, and it wasn't until their second year of the four year course that William became really close to Kate because he shared a house with her and three other friends of his and they shared a really pretty Georgian town house in the centre of St Andrews. But it still was about a year later before the national press logged onto that fact that she was an item with him and not with anyone else. "

And then they moved out of the town into a little farm house, so they were living together which is quite unheard of really for a future king to be living openly with his girlfriend. So they had a wonderful time, they had four years of a really good time. But of course when they both left, or came down as you called it, last summer, they slightly went their separate ways because William had things to do, places to go, and so did she. And now that things have settled a bit they are seeing a great deal of each other because they are both in London . "

"They are not living together. Kate has a flat in the King's Road.

Kate has to decide if she is prepared to go on with this relationship, because her life will never be her own now, or if she really can't hack it, because she is not going to get married tomorrow, and who knows what will happen. She is starting up a children clothing company which of course most people that leave university wouldn't think fop starting their own company immediately, but because of her association with William's people are clamouring to get a bit of her. So she is a bright girl and she is taking advantage of that, and she might make a very big success of it."

"Now I am 42 years old, I think my personal life has come to an end. What I mean by 'end' is I don't have any ambition, goal or specific task in my life. I have totally understood fame and its benefit. Actually, life is like a drama where every phase of your life constitutes one episode. Since you have already understood the drama, you'd better let the curtain come down and come to the end. You suffer pain when you have goals. Therefore, I can happily state that 'If I have the chance to pursue what I want in my life, I will try my best to do it; If not, that is also reasonable', like the Chinese saying goes."

"I think this (Fearless) is going to be my last martial arts movie as I have summarised my 'mind experience' of martial arts career. I will act in a sci-fi movie, action movie even a so-called Kung fu movie, but I am just an actor and I am just simply acting out the lives of other people in the movies. "

"In my mind, Huo Yuanjia (the lead role in 'Fearless') is a human being and he makes mistakes. He neglects his family, including his mother and daughter because he is too self-centred. He needs a girl with passion and a strong will to support him and a close friend to help him when he is in a terrible trouble. He is not a perfect man with any shortcomings don't even believe that there is a perfect man in the world as we call 'hero'."

And ladies and gentlemen it's jewellery, you know it really is jewellery, I get really excited when I see it, I take it out a lot actually and just look at it. Same with these boots, Mudcloth, these African Mudcloth, they're making a limited edition of these and I know there's going to be trouble over them.

1. John Legend, Grammy Winner for:

--Best New Artist

--Best Male R&B Vocal Performance, "Ordinary People"

--Best R&B Album, "Get Lifted", on the meaning of the title new artist

SOUNDBITE:

"Well, no one's a new comer. Anybody that's new is only new to the general public, they always work a lot beforehand to get a record deal, to get an album out, that's a long struggle, and we struggled, it took a while to get noticed, we got turned down by a lot of labels including the one I'm signed to now. So, you know it takes time, that's normal I'm not mad, I don't feel vindictive about it but it's just like you know, that's what it was and it happened at the right time and everything came together at the right time this year in '05 and we won three Grammys."

2. Kelly Clarkson, Grammy Winner for:

--Best Female Pop Vocal Performance, "Since U Been Gone",

--Best Pop Vocal Album, "Breakaway" on her unexpected winnings

SOUNDBITE:

"I don't know, I didn't know it was his first performance, that's odd, you'd think that someone that talented would have been on the show a lot. So I don't know, I've had a very blessed evening, I've no idea how this happened but I'm happy I'm taking this home so I don't know, I'm just very happy, my big win tonight, I didn't even expect to win, my big win was performing so being able to perform in front of people like Paul McCartney and Bonnie Raitt and Bruce Springsteen and all these people that I admire it was amazing."

3. Linkin Park, Grammy Winner for:

--Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, "Numb/Encore"

SOUNDBITE:

"I mean performing Numb/Encore, being nominated for this award, we thought it would be really amazing to try to tie all those things together, and we did, I mean Sir Paul McCartney was gracious enough to be really into the idea and be supportive and we pulled it off and we won the Grammy and we played with Paul McCartney and it's pretty much been the most kick-ass day I think any of us have ever had."

4. Ciara, Grammy Winner for:

--Best Short Form Music Video for "Lose Control" Missy Elliott featuring Ciara and Phat Man Scoop

on how blessed she feels to win with her first album

SOUNDBITE:

"You know what, this is truly an honour for me, this is my first time in the Grammy awards, first album for me, first time being nominated, and just to think about everything that I was nominated for this year I feel so blessed, so thankful, I mean it's like it's exciting, it's motivating at the same time, like I'm so ready so go finish recording I'm so ready to put out another song, I'm excited so I feel really blessed, absolutely."

5. Yolanda Adams, Grammy Winner for:

--Best Gospel Song "Be Blessed", on the excitement of receiving another Grammy

SOUNDBITE:

"Ok, first question it feels like, yeah! And then that's how you describe it, no matter how many you get, you know people tell you all the time that there's nothing like winning one with each new album because really each new album is like a new child and you know we can all attest to the fact that whenever you have a child it's like something that you give to the world, you give back to the world that's a little bit of you."

Colombian superstar Shakira's new album, 'Oral Fixation, Vol. 2' is released in the UK March 6, 2006.

1 SOUNDBITE (English) Shakira:

"Volume Two', I would say, is one of those albums that involves rock and electronic sounds and that allowed me to explore other possibilities in terms of lyrics. There's a lot of love and romance in this record as well but there is also some of my points of view and my question marks".

"I've always considered myself as some kind of cocktail, you know, because of so many fusions that there is in my family, but also the fact that I've been travelling for so many years, since I was 18, I've been moving around like a nomad, it has shaped my spirit and my personality in a certain way".

"When I write, I write about my own experiences or fantasies of mine, and you don't always fantasise about good things, but also about terrible things and this is all exposed in my songs. Sometimes I regret the things I write because then I have to explain them".

"I think fame doesn't fool me, it doesn't trick me , I know all of her vices and all of her virtues, like an old friend that I've known for a while because since I started a career at such an early age and I developed as a woman and as a person and also as a professional for 14 years.... I think that that has given me enough perspective to know that one day you are here and one day you might not be quite there, so. I don't know, I've quite a simple person, I try to live a simple life even though my life is pretty abnormal, but that is one of the reasons why I live in the Bahamas, because I like to go to the supermarket in my Pjs (pyjamas), I like to stay close to my family. I enjoy simple things".

"When I have the chance I just enjoy scratching my belly and sitting in a rocking chair, staring at the nothingness. It's such a creative space as well, having some time for you mind to unwind, that is when the best ideas happen, not in the middle of the photo session".

"Some day I would like to study, go to university maybe, and not do a full career but, you know, maybe take some courses on certain subjects that I am interested in. I don't know, there is so much more to life than only music".

4. CA Heather McCartney

5. SOUNDBITE Paul McCartney:

"You will hear that the reason why the seal hunt has to go on is that the seals eat the cod and therefore deplete the supplies of cod in the area, therefore ruining the fishermen's living, but in actual fact that isn't true. It's over fishing that has lead to the demise of the cod and these harp seals actually eat some of the predators of the cod so they are part of a very delicate eco-balance."

6. MS Paul and Heather

7. SOUNDBITE Paul McCartney:

"The Canadian people have been polled and asked what they think of the seal hunt and the majority of the Canadian people are opposed to it so it's not their fault. It's just an old tradition that has gone on for a long time and it's time it stopped."

"Oh no, oh no, just I hope I don't have to say anything, it's just really hard for me; one of the hardest things about this movie was talking in front of a large group of people or singing in front of a large group of people because the film making experience for me has always been more intimate, it's never been more than 15 people watching your performance, and they're all busy doing more important things like lighting the set, so for me this was just a great accomplishment, learning to stand by myself, I'm proud of myself. It's different for me."

And the great challenge of this was going to be somehow portraying the vast knowledge and intelligence that Robert Langdon has without having quite as much verbiage. He has to come in as an authority and carry himself as an authority and somehow balance the distinction between what he knows about history and the editorial position that he knows of the context of that history and that requires a substantial amount of condensation by Akiva Goldsman, our screen writer, who drafted the book, as well as working with Ron and everybody else. I viewed this as any time you're playing a character with vast amounts of knowledge that is off the page that means that you have to do more than just hit the marks and say your lines you have to have a certain amount of carriage and past that you have to bring into the room with you and this is the magnificent thing about being an actor.

So on the ground of provocation she actually eventually managed to come away, released, back to her children and eventually get felicitated by the wife of the Prime Minister of the country. That is a huge journey for a woman and the story needed to be told, not just of that one Kiranjit Ahluwalia but for various and many Kiranjits who exist in society, so it was an important story for me."

Prince William's upcoming visit to the Holy Land is the first official visit by a member of the royal family and landmark sites in Jerusalem are duly preparing to welcome him royally.

During his tour Prince William will be spending four days in Jordan, Israel and the Palestinian territories.

He arrives in Israel on June 25 and departs on 28 June after visiting the West Bank as well.

The trip places special emphasis on technology and peace-making between Israelis and Palestinians.

The itinerary will also see him meet young football players, both Jewish and Arab, a timely event as the fever of the World Cup has many glued to TV-screens. But, it also lists visits to two landmark sites in Jerusalem, the city whose fate is an emotional issue at the heart of the conflict.

In 2016, William's father, Prince Charles, attended the 2016 funeral of former Israeli President Shimon Peres in a private capacity.

He used the opportunity to visit the grave of his grandmother, Princess Alice of Greece, mother of the Duke of Edinburgh.

At the time Prince Charles laid flowers picked from his garden at Birkhall. He was 21 when she died in 1969.

Her remains are buried at the picturesque Church of St Mary Magdalene, above the Garden of Gethsemane, on the Mount of Olives.

Initially she was interred in St. George's Chapel, Windsor, but was re-interred in Jerusalem in 1988 upon her final wish to lay next to her aunt Elizabeth, the Grand Duchess of Russia, who was killed by the Bolsheviks and declared a saint by the Russian Orthodox Church.

Prince William is scheduled to visit the site during his visit and also view the Old City from the Mount of Olives.

Clerics in charge of the site said they are looking forward to Prince Williams visit.

"It's an honour they've entrusted us with the care for Princess Alice and we're looking forward to this visit and for him to have a little bit of quiet time during I'm sure what is a tumultuous visit to the Near East," said Very Reverend Archimandrite Roman Krassovsky, head of the Russian Ecclesiastical Mission.

Britain has deep roots in the region, having governed Palestine from 1920 to 1948 under a League of Nations mandate.

In Jerusalem, Prince William will stay at the King David Hotel, the elegant British-era edifice that was also the site of a lethal bombing by Jewish nationalist in 1946 that left 91 dead.

Prince Charles also stayed at the hotel and his signature is among those of many dignitaries adorning the walkway into the lobby of the hotel.

Most recently US President Donald Trump stayed there during his first overseas visit as president.

Sheldon Ritz, director of operations, King David Hotel said staff are going through a list of etiquette to welcome Prince William.

Sheldon said the menu would include regional treats and inevitably a blend of teas.

Although the visit is not political in nature, Prince William will also meet Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu and President Reuven Rivlin.

He will also meet the President of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank city of Ramallah.

Israel captured east Jerusalem from Jordan in the 1967 Mideast war and annexed it in a move not internationally recognized.

Israel considers the city, home to holy sites sacred to Jews, Christians and Muslims and the emotional epicenter of the conflict, as an inseparable part of its capital, while Palestinians claim it as the capital of a future state.

No British royal has ever made an official visit to Israel, whose occupation of the Palestinian territories is considered illegal by the UK.

I'm sure he'll love that and we're bringing in the best quality tea from England and we're going to offer scones and clotted cream and strawberry jam. So hopefully they'll have a bit of England here as well."

"You're dealing with  royalty so I was invited to the British Embassy where they gave training to the people who are going to be with the prince quite a bit, so there's certain things that, etiquette that you have to do like you have to bow your head, you can't initiate any handshakes. The prince, if he wants to shake your hand, he'll initiate it and you say 'your royal highness' you greet him by 'your royal highness', after that, every time you meet him after that it's 'sir'. You call him 'sir'. And um, so I'm going to be obviously on the red carpet. I'll take him to the suite, I'll do the orientation of the suite and I'll try and be as diplomatic as possible. Not too much small talk."

Israel and Jordan ended 46 years of hostility by signing a peace treaty witnessed by US President Bill Clinton at the Arava desert border crossing south of the Dead Sea.

The prime ministers of both countries signed the historic document to the applause of nearly 5,000 guests. Yitzhak Rabin signed for Israel while King Hussein looked on as his prime minister Abdul-Salam al-Majali signed for Jordan. The treaty, backed by all Israelis except the extreme right wing, ended a 46-year-old state of war between Jordan and Israel. However, it was condemned by the Palestine Liberation Organisation (PLO) and Muslim militants on both sides of the border. The signing ended

with the release of 10,000 balloons in the colours of the Israeli and Jordanian flags.

Gaza Strip - Palestinian Police Shoot 13 Hamas

WTN

Gaza - 18 November 1994

Hamas, the radical Palestinian Muslim fundamentalist movement, pledged to retaliate against Yasser Arafat's Palestine National Authority after its followers were slain by Palestinian police in Gaza. Thirteen people were killed and about 200 wounded in Gaza City earlier in the day when Arafat's police opened fire on a crowd of Hamas Islamic militants after the demonstrators surrounded police headquarters, the central jail and other Palestinian government buildings, hurling stones and shouting insults. The violence was the most serious confrontation between Arafat's self-rule administration and fundamentalist hardliners opposed to the peace process with Israel. The self-rule government has administered Gaza, a Hamas bastion, and the West Bank town of Jericho since May. The confrontation raised questions about the future of the peace process with Israel. Tensions have been building between the PLO and Hamas as a result of a series of suicide bombings and shootings aimed at Israeli targets, including the Tel Aviv bus bombing on 19 October Oct. 19 that claimed 22 lives. Israel demanded that Arafat act to stop the bloodshed or Israel would freeze the expansion of autonomy into the rest of the West Bank. Arafat rounded up about 160 Islamic militants after a suicide bombing last week in which three soldiers were killed.

After the raid, the army placed a curfew on Hebron, a town of 80,000 Palestinians and 450 Jewish settlers, to prevent street protests and revenge attacks by supporters of the militant Islam organisation, Hamas. Witnesses said soldiers had pulled one body from the rubble of the house in Hebron and later demolished the remains with a bulldozer. The Israeli army acted on suspicion that wanted Muslim guerrillas were hiding in the premises. Hebron has been a hotbed of violence and is a Muslim militant stronghold.

Jerusalem police chief Aryeh Amit said the site would remain closed until further notice "to calm things down and avoid violence and clashes." Two Jews allowed into the site had to be quickly escorted out by police

after being surrounded by angry Muslims. "Tension is mounting in the Old City," Amit admitted as Arab mosques called on the faithful to turn out to protect the haram.

Israelis went to the polls amid unprecedented security to choose a new prime minister and parliament in elections seen as a turning point for the Middle East peace process. Prime Minister Shimon Peres was among the early voters. He said he didn't see the election as a personal competition, or a confrontation between the parties, but instead a choice of future for the nation. Opposition leader Benjamin Netanyahu, 46-year-old head of the nationalist Likud Party, voted with his wife Sarah in Jerusalem's Beit Hinour school. He and Peres were neck and neck going into the election. It's the first time Israelis have had the chance to directly elect their Prime Minister and more than 70% of Israel's 3.9 million voters turned out to do so.

Palestinians and Israeli soldiers engaged in gun battles near Ramallah as riots erupted in Jerusalem and the West Bank. Three Palestinians, including two policemen, were killed and at least 180 people were injured in the worst violence since the 1987-93 revolt against Israeli occupation. The violence was sparked by Israel's completion of an archaeological tunnel near Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque compound, one of the holiest sites of Islam. The firefight broke out near an Israeli army checkpoint south of Ramallah. Israeli troops had tried for hours to break up a protest by more than a thousand Palestinian stone throwers. The Palestinians were demonstrating against the opening of a tourist tunnel in Jerusalem. It runs along Jerusalem's Al Aqsa Mosque compound - the third holiest site of Islam - and Palestinians claim the tunnel undermines their rights to the Muslim shrines.

Israel and the Palestinians struck a landmark accord to extend Palestinian rule to the flashpoint city of Hebron, breaking a deadlock in the Middle East peace process since Israel's elections last May. Israel's cabinet, a coalition of right-wing and religious groups, met for more than six hours to study the accord, while dozens of angry Jewish settlers from the Palestinian territories protested outside the prime minister's office. The long-delayed Hebron agreement was sealed at a midnight summit at the Erez Crossing point between the Gaza Strip and Israel between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat. Israeli officials said the troop redeployment from Hebron would take place over the next five days, probably at the weekend.

Dennis Ross SOT:"I am very pleased to announce on behalf of the two leaders that they have reached agreement on a protocol on Hebron re-deployment"

West Bank - Arafat arrives in Hebron

WTN

Hebron - 19 January 1997

A triumphant Yasser Arafat declared Hebron a "liberated city" before he headed back to Gaza the makeshift seat of his government. It was a big day for the Palestinian leader, liberation for one of the West Bank's most disrupted towns, as well as his first visit to Hebron in more than 30 years. Arafat was given a rapturous welcome by tens of thousands of Palestinians waving flags to greet their leader and mark the official expansion of self-rule to Hebron. But for the Jewish settlers Arafat's arrival and the Israeli withdrawal was seen as a betrayal.

When it came to the ritual burning of an effigy of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and an Israeli flag, the flames spread to the clothing of bystanders, and five people were taken to hospital with burns.

After nine days of intensive negotiation with the Palestinians, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signed a peace accord. But with just five of his 16 cabinet ministers in favour of the agreement, the question he now faces is whether he has still got a government. The right-wing factions in Netanyahu's coalition government are threatening to vote in favour of the early dissolution of the Knesset and the nomination of a right wing candidate to run against Netanyahu. Likud MK Moshe Arens says that, before implementing the agreement, Netanyahu still has a long way to go to convince his right-wing coalition of the merits of the peace deal.

The early morning rays of sunlight backlit the Dome of the Rock, and Al Aqsa mosque.

Demonstrators erected burning barricades on roadways and threw rocks at Israeli troops, who replied by firing tear gas and rubber-coated steel pellets. In Ramallah masked men from outlawed Palestinian guerrilla groups roamed the streets, firing machine guns into the air. Later youths were involved in clashes with the Israeli security services. Soldiers in armoured vehicles threw tear gas grenades and fired rubber-coated steel pellets. At least 10 Palestinians and one Israeli soldier were injured during the demonstrations.

Israeli troops are continuing their withdrawal from South Lebanon, which they have occupied for 22 years. In the wake of their retreat, the pro Israeli militia group, S-L-A (South Lebanon Army) has fallen apart - its troops fleeing town after town as their posts fall to Hezbollah guerrillas. With the S-L-A unable to hold its ground in the central area of the Israeli-occupied zone, Israel has been speeding up its withdrawal. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak says that troops could be out within 10 days, more than a month ahead of Israel's self-imposed July 7th deadline.

Meanwhile the head of Hezbollah has urged S-L-A militiamen to surrender and assured that they will be treated fairly. But he also warned Israel that the killing of six Lebanese civilians amid firing by Israelis and members of the S-L-A was "a very serious matter" He said his group was still deciding how to respond. These scenes are being repeated in areas across what had been, until recently, occupied territory. These people are celebrating the withdrawal of the Israeli army, and the collapse of its S-L-A ally. The crowds wave not only Lebanese flags, but also those of the main Shiite guerrilla groups Hezbollah and Amal.

Pallbearers in scarlet berets and combat fatigues carried the body of Syrian President Hafez Assad through the mourner-thronged streets of the capital. On the streets of Damascus, crowds of tens of thousands surged along the cortege route. In dark mourning suits or flowing Arab robes, world leaders and other dignitaries paid tribute at the flag-draped casket of Assad, who died Saturday at age 69, at the elaborate, white marble People's Palace, set on a Damascus hillside. But for ordinary Syrians, the loss of the only president many had ever known sparked a remarkable outpouring of grief that at times seemed staged, at other times almost unbearably heartfelt. They took to the streets of cities and villages, chanting praise for Assad and for Bashar, his son and heir apparent.

Jerusalem - 29 September 2000

Palestinians accused Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon of igniting a "religious war" that erupted in the bloodiest fighting in four years. Tensions have been high at a Jerusalem holy side revered by both Jews and Muslims since Sharon visited there to show that Israel is in control. Palestinians threw stones at Israeli riot police, who fired back live rounds and rubber bullets. Four people were killed and about 175 people were hurt, including 44 Israeli police and 15 civilians. The Jerusalem shrine is known to Jews as the Temple Mount and to Muslims as Haram as-Sharif, or Noble Sanctuary. The violence began at the Al-Aqsa mosque when Palestinians worshippers began stoning Israeli police after attending Friday prayers.

In 2002, there was no let up in the deadly suicide attacks against Israelis, despite the Israeli offensive against the Palestinians greatly restricting their movement and increasing security around Palestinian-controlled areas.

On January 27, for the first time, a female suicide bomber struck. 28 year old Wafa Idris killed herself and an 81 year old Israeli man when she detonated the explosives she was carrying in a busy shopping street in Jerusalem. Her mother said Wafa had been shot three times by rubber bullets while working as a paramedic for the Red Crescent in Ramallah.

On June 18 there were devastating scenes when a suicide bomber killed himself and 19 civilians in a bomb attack on a bus in southern Jerusalem.

On March 27, in the Israeli resort of Netanya, a bomber blew himself up at a hotel, killing 28 Israelis celebrating Passover. The attack claimed by militant group Hamas, was the deadliest since the beginning of the uprising.

On March 9 at least 11 people were killed and 50 injured in a suicide bomb attack on a crowded cafe in west Jerusalem, near the official residence of then Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

And on May 7 a suicide bomber attacked a social club in the Israeli town of Rishon Letzion, killing 16 people and injuring more than 50.

With no end in sight to the cycle of violence in the Middle East, the Israelis sought to consolidate their position and force the Palestinian administration to prevent more suicide attacks. On January 18, the Israelis sent more than 20 tanks to surround Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's headquarters in Ramallah. Overnight the pressure was turned up, when Israeli tanks and armoured personnel carriers sealed off Arafat's Ramallah headquarters and destroyed a Palestinian Broadcasting Corporation building. The siege came after Arafat had already been confined to Ramallah for several weeks by the Israeli authorities. Now he was confined to his office. On the 20th of February Israeli helicopters fired on Arafat's office for the first time, causing massive destruction.

Arafat was not released from his confinement until May. The Israeli Defence Force had destroyed all of Ramallah's infrastructure - and its bureaucracy, schools and security services. The Israelis would return to put Arafat under siege several times later in the year, although never for such an extended period.

Israeli forces also attacked Palestinian areas they said were breeding ground for suicide attackers. Operation Defensive Shield was the largest military operation in the West Bank since 1967, launched in response to the Passover suicide attack in Netanya, when 28 people were killed. Nablus and Jenin were the two places highest on the Israeli blacklist. In Nablus, the West Bank's largest city, Israeli forces battled with Palestinian gunmen. The fighting meant many of the injured, and those killed, could not be evacuated and human rights organisations complained of lack of access to parts of the city. Jenin camp too was out of bounds to human rights organisations while Israeli tanks moved in, destroyed homes and launched fierce fighting to rout out terrorists. Journalists were only able to enter the camp six weeks after the Israelis attacked. They found the once lively streets were silent and that many of the camp's people had fled during the fighting. Israel estimated 100 Palestinians were killed in the camp during eight days of the deadliest fighting. Palestinians said the toll was far higher and that many people were also starved, or cut off from their water supplies. Israel lost 23 soldiers in the Jenin operation. After the Israelis left, the Palestinians struggled to come to terms with the extent of the devastation. Hardly a building remained untouched and the streets were piled high with rubble.

After running battles with Israeli troops, about 200 Palestinian gunmen forced their way into the Church of the Nativity - believed to be the birthplace of Jesus Christ - in Bethlehem's Manger Square. Israeli tanks positioned themselves on the square and soldiers occupied buildings overlooking the church. Thus began the siege of Bethlehem that lasted five weeks. Those inside the church with the gunmen included human rights activists, journalists and members of the church's clergy.

During the siege, while intense negotiations took place, some of those holed up inside, and the bodies of those killed in gun battles with the Israelis, were able to leave. Israeli soldiers threw smoke bombs between those leaving and journalists, blocking the view.

A European-brokered deal ended the siege. As part of the deal, 13 of the group- those highest on Israel's wanted list- were deported, first to Cyprus and then to other European countries. Another 26 militiamen were transported to the Gaza Strip, where they were to remain, exiled from the West Bank.

Hope of progress in the Middle East peace process lay with the appointment of Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) as the first Palestinian Prime Minister. After pressure applied by both The United States and Israel, Palestinian President Yasser Arafat agreed to relinquish some of his power to create the new post. The appointment was seen as a pre-cursor to the U.S. unveiling its "road map" to peace, with the aim of establishing Palestinian statehood within three years. However, continued violence and Israeli strikes within the West Bank and Gaza on Hamas targets were a constant setback to progress.

U.S. special operations forces in Iraq captured Mohammed Abu Abbas, leader of a Palestinian group that killed an American on the hijacked cruise liner Achille Lauro in 1985. He was reported to have lived in Iraq for 17 years. Abbas' case had been mentioned in an October 2002 speech by President Bush, used as evidence of Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's support for international terrorism. The Palestinian Authority immediately asked for the release of Abbas, saying his arrest violated a 1995 interim agreement between Israel and the Palestinians that said no PLO officials could be arrested for violent acts committed before the 1993 Israel-P.L.O. pact of mutual recognition.

In April, following a bitter stand-off, the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and his prime-minister designate Mahmoud Abbas finally agreed on the formation of a new cabinet. Arafat had challenged several key appointments made by Abbas during the course of the power struggle. After officially accepting the position of Palestinian Prime Minister, one of Abbas' first acts was to formally accept a draft of the internationally backed peace plan, known as the "road map". The "road map" required an immediate ceasefire, a crackdown on Palestinian militants and Israel's withdrawal from Palestinian towns and the dismantling of Jewish settlements. But just a day after the plan was presented, its success was already under threat. Following a suicide bombing attack in Tel Aviv, Israel struck a Hamas stronghold in Gaza in a raid aimed at taking out Yousef Abu Hein, a leading Hamas bomb maker.

The "road map" peace plan faced opposition from within Israel. Jewish settlers, once allied to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, rallied against him as he met with both the Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas and the U.S. President George W. Bush in a summit in Jordan. The result: a pledge by Israel to dismantle illegal settlements in Palestinian areas, while the new Palestinian prime minister renounced all terrorism against Israel.

Setbacks to the progress of the peace plan were frequent. Israel continued with the construction of a barrier dividing Israel from areas of the West Bank. While Israel claimed it was merely a measure to protect them against suicide bombers, the Palestinians said it cut thousands of people off from their land and jobs and encroached into large sections of their territory. Despite the construction of the 250 kilometre long fence, the suicide bombings continued. At least 18 people were killed and over 40 injured when a bomb went off in packed bus full of Jewish worshippers returning from prayers at the Western Wall in Jerusalem. In response, Israel froze contact with the Palestinian authority and stopped the handover of two West Bank towns. They also launched a new wave of attacks on Hamas targets in both the West Bank and Gaza.

Following the resignation of Mahmoud Abbas as Palestinian Prime Minister, Ahmed Qureia emerged as the frontrunner to take over the position.

Israel maintained its pressure on the Palestinian authority, issuing threats to expel the Palestinian President Yasser Arafat. An Arab backed resolution at the United Nations demanding that Israel halt the threats was blocked by a U.S. veto in the security council vote - three other nations abstained: Britain, Germany and Bulgaria. In October, Israel launched an air strike against Syria, hitting what they claimed was a suspected Islamic Jihad training base outside Damascus. The attack on Syria led to an escalation of tensions along the border with Israel and Lebanon, where Syria was the main power-broker. In his first comments following the attack Sharon defended Israel's right to protect its citizens.

World News Review 2004 - Middle East: West Bank Barrier

APTN

Various Locations - 2004

In July, the International Court of Justice in the Netherlands ruled that a 685-kilometre long security barrier built by Israel along the length of West Bank was illegal. The court's decision was based on its finding that Israeli settlements in the Palestinian areas occupied by Israel in the 1967 war were a violation of the Geneva Convention, as was occupation of East Jerusalem. But Israel said the ruling would not change its policy on the barrier or the Palestinians. Israel claims the barrier is to protect Israeli citizens from attacks by Palestinian militants such as suicide bombers. The Palestinians, whose lives in some places have been severely disrupted by the complex of high concrete walls, razor-wire fences, trenches and watch towers, said it was like living in "a big prison." In its completed form the barrier is to stretch 730 kilometres, although there have been calls in Israel for the route to be changed to the 1967 border. The Palestinians say that the completed barrier will separate thousands of Palestinians and some 45-thousand Jewish settlers from the main Palestinian areas, by dipping deep into the West Bank. The fence cuts many people off from schools, medical clinics, jobs and agricultural land.

Israeli security forces made raids into the Rafah camp on the border with Egypt in the Gaza Strip to destroy houses and the ruins of a mosque, saying the buildings give cover to gunmen and weapons smugglers. Nine Palestinians were killed in January in fierce fighting with Israeli troops in Gaza City, after the army launched an operation near the Jewish settlement of Netzarim, in the heart of the teeming Gaza Strip. Palestinian militants fired anti-tank missiles and set off an explosive at the troops who fired back, the army said. In February, Israeli troops moved into a neighbourhood at the eastern edge of Gaza City, killing four Palestinians and wounding 13 others, residents said. Two of the dead were reported to be militants, including a Hamas leader.

In spite of the security efforts, Palestinian suicide bomb continued to get through to attack Israelis. In mid-January a woman blew herself at the main crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip at Erez, killing at least four Israelis and wounding seven other people. She was identified as Reem Raiyshi, aged 21, a Gaza woman described as a Hamas militant and the first female suicide-bomber from the Islamic militant group. Two weeks later a Palestinian man blew himself up on a bus in the downtown Rehevia district of Jerusalem, killing at least 10 bystanders and wounding about 30 in an attack outside Prime Minister Ariel Sharon's official residence. At the end of February, a Palestinian blew himself up on a crowded city bus during rush hour in downtown Jerusalem, killing seven people and wounding more than 60 people, 11 of them seriously. In March, Palestinians blew themselves up in Ashdod, a closely guarded Israeli port, killing 10 Israelis in the first deadly attack on a strategic Israeli installation in more than three years of Israeli-Palestinian fighting.

In August, Palestinian suicide bombers blew up two buses almost simultaneously in the main street of Beersheba in southern Israel, killing 16 people and wounding more than 80 others. The militant group Hamas claimed responsibility for the attack, saying it was revenge for the Israeli assassination of two of Hamas leaders in March. In response, Israeli forces closed off the West Bank city of Hebron and blew up the home of Ahmed Kawasmeh, one of the two Beersheba suicide bombers, and ransacked the house of the other bomber.

Israel used the Palestinian suicide-attacks on Ashdod to justify the assassination of the founder and spiritual leader of the Hamas group, Sheik Ahmed Yassin in Gaza City in late March. A rocket fired from an Israeli helicopter struck the wheelchair-bound Yassin as he left a mosque near his house at daybreak. Yassin was the most influential Palestinian militant leader to be killed by Israel and Hamas threatened bloody revenge. In a spontaneous outpouring of rage and grief, tens of thousands of Palestinians, led by hundreds of militant gunmen, poured into the streets of Gaza City after hearing of Yassin's death. Yassin had dodged previous Israeli attempts to kill him. His assassination provoked demonstrations across the Muslim world, including Baghdad, Turkey and Palestinian communities in Lebanon.

Yassin's deputy Abdel Aziz Rantisi succeeded the Hamas leadership and vowed there would be no let up in the Hamas campaign against Israel. But Rantisi was killed in late April when two Israeli rockets fired from a helicopter hit his car in the Sheik Radwan neighbourhood of Gaza City. Rantissi was rushed to the hospital and into emergency surgery, but he died five minutes after arriving. Two of his guards were also killed and five bystanders pedestrians were wounded. Hamas had claimed responsibility for most of the 112 suicide bombings that have killed 465 people on the Israeli side during three and a half years of violence. Hours before Rantisi was killed, a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up at the Erez industrial zone, killing an Israeli border policeman and injuring three other security workers. Thousands of supporters escorted the body of Rantisi down the streets of Gaza at his funeral.

In May, Israeli forces reportedly fired tank shells, helicopter missiles and machine-guns at a crowd of thousands of Palestinians demonstrating against an Israeli raid on the Rafah refugee camp in Gaza. Witnesses and medical workers said at least eight people were killed, two of them children, and 50 people were wounded. The Israelis had launched "Operation Rainbow" in the Rafah camp two days earlier, to hunt down militants and destroying arms-smuggling tunnels that run from Rafah beneath the nearby border. In September, Israeli forces pushed into the largest Palestinian refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, at Jebaliya near Gaza, after a rocket attack killed two young children in the Israeli border town of Sderot. Twenty-three Palestinians were killed in the attack and at least 108 wounded, the highest single-day Palestinian casualty count in 30 months.

Based on his account, experts said at the time that Israel had the world's sixth-largest stockpile of nuclear weapons. Israeli agents abducted Vanunu from Italy before the article was printed and he was convicted of treason in a closed trial. He said he had been kept in solitary confinement for 12 years in an attempt to drive him mad. Vanunu was released subject to is subject to a broad array of speech and travel restrictions.

In October, bombs exploded at two resorts in Egypt's Sinai Peninsula where Israelis were vacationing at the end of a Jewish holiday. At least 32 people were killed and more than 120 wounded in the blasts at the Taba Hilton, a luxury hotel just south of the Israeli border, and at the Ras Shitan camping area near the town of Nuweiba, 55 kilometres south of Taba. Most of the victims were Israelis. In Taba, a car laden with explosives drove into the lobby of the hotel and exploded, while a suicide-bomber blew himself up near the hotel swimming pool. The blast collapsed a 10-storey wing of the hotel. Two smaller car bombs exploded at Ras Shitan. Two previously unknown Islamic militant groups claimed to have carried out the attacks. Israel blamed al-Qaida, and Egyptian police arrested a number of Bedouin tribesmen on suspicion that they supplied the bombs. About 15-thousand Israelis had been spending the weeklong Jewish holiday of Sukkoth in the Sinai, despite Israeli government warnings of the risk of terrorist attacks on Israeli tourists in the area. The region was controlled by Israel from 1967 to 1989.

The ailing Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, left the West Bank on board a Jordanian military helicopter in late October, heading to a clinic near Paris in France for critical medical treatment. It was the first time that Israeli forces had allowed Arafat to leave his besieged headquarters in Ramallah for almost three years. The Palestinian president was said to be suffering from a serious but undisclosed illness. Under French law his wife, Suha Arafat, controlled access to her husband and declined to release details of Arafat's condition. Arafat's Palestinians deputies denied that he was dying and said that he would recover. But after two weeks, when Arafat was reported to have slipped into a coma, they abandoned their public optimism and began hurried preparations for his death.

Arafat died in intensive care at the Clamart clinic in the early hours of 11 November 2004. He had been a leader of the Palestinian struggle against Israel for four decades, and Palestinians were united in grief when they awoke to news of his death. Palestinian flags were lowered to half-mast at the compound in Ramallah where he had spent his final years. His body was flown from France to Egypt, where he had been born, and where was accorded a military funeral ceremony. A helicopter then flew his coffin to Ramallah in the West Bank, where he was buried in a grave outside his besieged headquarters. Tens of thousands of people swarmed around the helicopter that brought him to the Ramallah compound. As the coffin was carried toward the grave site, police jumped on top of it, waving their arms and flashing the victory sign. People chanted, "With our blood and our soul we will redeem you Yasser Arafat!" Palestinians consider the grave site in Ramallah a temporary one - a place for Arafat's body until they can honour his request to be buried at the al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem. Israel refused this request. Speaking at the graveside, Palestinian Cabinet Minister Saeb Erekat said: "My heart is broken because President Arafat is dead, and the Israeli occupation is not ".

Israel and the Palestinians

The Palestinians held their first presidential election in nine years on January, choosing a successor to longtime leader Yasser Arafat in a vote many across the world hoped would usher in a moderate leadership and revitalise the Middle East peace process. Mahmoud Abbas, the acting president and the candidate from of Arafat's ruling Fatah movement, was elected with 62.3 percent of the vote. The landslide vote was seen to give Abbas a clear mandate to resume peace talks with Israel , but he still faces t he tough task of reining in powerful armed extremist groups.

Abbas and the Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon met face-to-face at a summit in Egypt in early February. The two leaders smiled broadly as they leaned across a long table to shake hands as they met for the first time. During the summit, Abbas and Sharon announced a ceasefire to end the last four years of violence between Israelis and Palestinians, and spoke of their hopes for a new era of peace talks.

Israel 's former President Ezer Weizman died in April, aged 80. A former combat pilot and military commander, Weizman had built up the nation's air force and helped bring about the Jewish state's first peace treaty with an Arab country. In nearly three decades in political life, Weizman had made a highly public transition from hawk to dove, saying the Jews had to learn to "share this part of the world" with the Arabs. As Defence Minister in 1979, he was instrumental in negotiating Israel 's peace treaty with Egypt . Weizman's casual style breathed life into the Israeli presidency, a largely ceremonial office, and endeared him to the Israeli public. His bluntness and sharp-tongued barbs often got him into trouble. Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon told a memorial service that the story of Weizman's was "the story of Israel ."

Prime Minister Sharon pushed ahead with his plan to disestablish 25 Jewish settlements in Gaza and the West Bank . But he faced bitter opposition from the settlers and their supporters. In July, opponents of the withdrawal plan gathered in the southern Israeli town of Netivot , for the first leg of a three-day protest march to Gaza , 25 kilometres (15 miles) away. But the police declared the march illegal and some 20-thousand police and soldiers were deployed at the scene to prevent them from going ahead. At the Kissufim Crossing between Gaza and Israel , troops started work on a barrier and wire fence to improve security at the crossing.

The first Jewish settlers to leave Gaza moved into temporary accommodation in the southern Israeli village of Nitzan at the start of August. Some 164 prefabricated houses had been built in Nitzan to house dozens of settler families expected to make the move. Officials estimate that about half of the 8,500 Gaza settlers will leave voluntarily before the forcible evacuation date of August 17, and the others would offer varying degrees of resistance. They settlements were the first to be removed since Israel captured the territories in the 1967 Mideast War.

"We are not being expelled by a non-Jew. We are being taken out of here by Jews, and this is the pain. If a Gentile came and burned my house, if this Gentile shot a bullet in me, it wouldn't hurt me as much."

When the grace period was over, Israeli troops moved in to issue eviction notices to the remaining settlers. Defiant and tearful settlers locked the gates to their communities, formed human chains and burned tires to block troops from entering. In Gaza 's largest settlement, Neve Dekalim, residents blocked the main road, stopping army vehicles and scuffling with soldiers. Later they burnt the eviction notices. Police and soldiers waited in the sweltering sun and avoided confrontation at the behest of their commanders. In one scene, a sobbing settler pleaded with a brigadier general not to evict him before the two men embraced. In other communities, residents, many wearing orange -- their protest colour -- tearfully implored soldiers not to carry out their orders.

But the withdrawal went on regardless, and the troops dragged hundreds settlers from homes and synagogues and hauled them onto buses to new homes in the following days. In the West Bank , an Israeli settler was arrested for killing three Palestinians and wounding two others in a shooting spree that aroused fears of Palestinian retaliation and the disruption of the evacuation mission which had gone largely without serious violence. In Gaza , unarmed soldiers carried away worshippers still wrapped in their white prayer shawls, while wailing men ripped their shirts in a Jewish mourning ritual. One 54-year-old woman from the West Bank set herself on fire at a police roadblock in southern Israel to protest the Gaza pullout, suffering life-threatening burns on 70 percent of her body. In Morag, soldiers encountered cement blocks and burning garbage containers when they entered the settlement early on Wednesday, and briefly clashed with residents. But as the day dragged on, the protesters gradually surrendered and let themselves be carried away to buses.

In January, Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suffered a massive, life-threatening stroke. Some Israelis came to the Jerusalem Western Wall to pray for his health. Doctors placed Sharon on a respirator and were trying to save his life just hours before the overweight, 77-year-old was scheduled to undergo a procedure to seal a hole in his heart that contributed to a mild stroke on December 18.

Israel Radio quoted an unnamed Israeli health official as saying Sharon 's prospects of a full recovery from the 4 January stroke were slim. Sharon underwent emergency surgery after a brain scan revealed a rise in intracranial pressure and some bleeding in his brain.

Sharon 's health crisis comes at a time of upheaval among Palestinian factions in Gaza and in the midst of both Israeli and Palestinian election campaigns.

London 's Sunday Times that said Israel has a plan for a combined air and ground attack on targets in Iran if diplomacy fails to stop the Iranian nuclear programme. Sharon 's inner Cabinet authorised the attack, the newspaper said. Vice Premier Ehud Olmert, a close confidant of Sharon , called the report "ridiculous."

Olmert became prime minister after Sharon suffered his stroke.

The Islamic militant group Hamas has won a huge majority in parliamentary elections in January, winning 76 seats in the 132-member parliament, as Palestinian voters rejected the long-time rule of the ailing Fatah Party. Hamas' sweeping victory dramatically shook up the political landscape of the Middle East, propelling the Islamic militant group, which has sustained a bloody military campaign against Israel, and in turn had its last two leaders and countless other activists assassinated by the Jewish state, into government.

The Hamas victory reflected popular discontent with Fatah, the secular party that has led the Palestinian Authority since its creation 12 years ago and has been accused of widespread corruption and mismanagement.

In response, Israel halted crucial monthly payments to the Palestinian Authority, though it did not immediately block millions of dollars in humanitarian aid that moves through Israeli banks. In Gaza , Hamas' prime minister, Ismail Haniyeh, accused Israel of inflicting ongoing collective punishment on the Palestinian people.

Commenting on the halt in Israeli funds, Mahmoud Zahar, a senior Hamas leader from Gaza who has been nominated as the movement's parliamentary faction leader, said the group would not allow Israel to "strangulate or starve" the Palestinian people.

There are three and a half (m) million Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem .

In April, a Palestinian suicide bomber blew himself up near a fast food restaurant in a bustling commercial area of Tel Aviv during the Jewish holiday of Passover, killing six people and wounding at least 35 others. A security guard posted outside the restaurant, which had been the target of a previous suicide bombing last January, prevented the bomber from entering the building, police said.

It was the first suicide bombing in Israel since the Hamas militant group recently took over the Palestinian government. Hamas and other militant groups have been observing a cease-fire with Israel for more than a year, though the new Hamas-led Palestinian leadership has refused to condemn attacks against Israelis.

The bomber struck the same restaurant, "The Mayor's Felafel," that was hit by an attacker on January 19. In that attack, 20 people were wounded.

Later that day, police stopped a car with three suspected Palestinian accomplices the West Bank . They were filmed handcuffed and stripped down to their underpants in the Ofer camp on the West Bank side of the pre-1967 border, which is presently part of municipal Jerusalem .

The Palestinian militant group Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the bombing. In a phone call to the Associated Press, the group identified the bomber as Sami Salim Mohammed Hammad and later they released a video showing the purported suicide bomber reading a statement.

In response to the bombing, Israeli aircraft attacked an empty metal workshop in Gaza City , causing no injuries. The army said the workshop was used by the Popular Resistance Committees militant group to manufacture homemade rockets to launch at Israel .

The Hamas gunmen, holed up in an abandoned building during the battle, fired a rocket-propelled grenade and threw two hand grenades at the police, witnesses said.

Security officials said the incident began when members of a new Hamas militia stopped a car carrying members of the Preventive Security Service, a branch loyal to moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Preventive Security officials said Hamas militiamen fired at the car.

Also in May, the funeral of assassinated Hamas security chief Abu Samhadana took place as hundreds of gunmen escorted his body from the morgue in Gaza to his house for a leave taking ceremony. No mosque could accommodate the tens of thousands expected to attend the funeral prayer in the Rafah refugee camp where Samhadana had lived, so a makeshift mosque was set up at the local stadium.

Palestinian militants vowed to avenge Israel 's assassination of Samhadana, an attack that threatened to ignite large-scale violence between the two sides. Hours after his death, Palestinians in the Gaza Strip fired two rockets into Israel , hitting a building in the southern town of Sderot , but causing no casualties, the military said.

Samhadana's appointment as Hamas' top enforcer helped to set the stage for recent Palestinian infighting that has killed 16 people and raised the spectre of all-out conflict between Hamas and the long-ruling Fatah movement it swept aside in January parliamentary elections.

In June, thousands of Palestinians joined the funeral procession of seven civilians killed when an Israeli artillery attack tore into a beachside picnic in Gaza . The mourners at the funeral procession in Beit Lahiya chanted "revenge, revenge" and "destroy Israel , destroy America " as they made their way through the town's narrow streets, carrying the victims' bodies.

The Israeli army said it had targeted areas in the northern Gaza Strip used by Palestinian militants to fire homemade rockets at Israel , but said that one artillery strike appeared to go off course. The beach attack prompted the military wing of the Islamic group Hamas to call off a 16-month-old truce with Israel .

In a separate incident, hundreds of Palestinian security forces loyal to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas went on a violent rampage against the Hamas-led government. They riddled the parliament and Cabinet buildings with bullets before setting them alight to protest an attack against their comrades in the Gaza Strip by Hamas gunmen, who had attacked a Preventive Security installation. The attack set off daylong clashes that left two people dead and 14 wounded.

The security men stormed the two-building Cabinet complex, where they smashed furniture, water coolers and air conditioners, destroyed computers and scattered documents. No casualties were reported.

When a fire engine approached the scene, one gunman lay on the road in front of it, preventing it from reaching the building. The Cabinet fire was eventually extinguished, but the crowd then set the second floor of the parliament building on fire.

In Northern Gaza, Israeli aircraft fired missiles at a car in the crowded Jebaliya refugee camp, killing a teenage girl and two young children and wounding eight people. The Israeli military reported the car was carrying militants from the Al Aqsa martyrs' Brigades, affiliated with the Fatah movement of Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas.

It was at least the second Israeli military action against militants in recent weeks to claim civilian victims.

An air strike in early June killed eight civilians, in addition to the two militants it targeted. About 100-thousand Palestinians live in the Jebaliya camp, just north of Gaza City , making it the largest refugee camp in Gaza . Funerals were held the following day.

Israeli troops entered southern Gaza and planes attacked three bridges and a power station, knocking out electricity in most of the coastal strip, stepping up the pressure on Palestinian militants holding a 19-year-old Israeli soldier captive.

Israeli troops began taking up positions in two locations east of the Gaza town of Rafah under the cover of tank shells, according to witnesses and Palestinian security officials. Palestinians dug in behind walls and sand embankments, bracing for a major Israeli offensive.

Israel said only freedom for the captive soldier, Corporal Gilad Shalit, could defuse the crisis, not a political agreement.

Shalit was captured on 25 June 2006 in an attack on an army base in southern Israel by militants affiliated with the Palestinians' ruling Hamas party. The Palestinian government has called for the soldier's release, but Israel thinks the group's Syria-based leaders ordered the operation.

Palestinian groups say the attack and subsequent capture of Shalit was a response to several Israeli airstrikes that killed a number of their civilians.

Meanwhile, the Israeli army bombed a house in Rafah, southern Gaza Strip, described by locals as a factory used by Palestinian militants to make and store rockets for use against Israel . According to eyewitnesses at the scene, an unmanned aerial vehicle fired a guided missile into a building.

The building is just a few kilometres (miles) from where an Israeli armoured column has pushed into Gaza and taken up positions at an abandoned airport, to try and force the release of Shalit. At Nahaloz, on the Israeli side of the border with Gaza , Israeli tanks were seen firing shells. Major General Yoav Galant, a commander in the Israeli Defence Force (IDF), said Israeli forces were "activating" in a few places in the Gaza Strip in an effort to secure the release of the soldier.

The ground offensive was Israel 's first since pulling all of its soldiers and settlers out of Gaza over the summer (2005).

Israeli forces arrested Palestinian deputy Prime Minister Nasser Shaer as part of their operation find Shalit. Shaer had criticised Israel 's operations: "There is a real disaster in Gaza now." The arrest of the seven Hamas cabinet ministers and 20 lawmakers is seen by some observers as an Israeli attempt to use them as bargaining chips to win the release of the soldier.

Israeli tanks in Nahal Oz, South Israel, launched artillery attacks on Gaza , partially destroying the office of Palestinian Prime Minister Ismail Haniyeh of Hamas.

Meanwhile, Israeli troops raided a Palestinian hospital in the West Bank city of Nablus , looking for a wanted man wounded in an earlier operation. The soldiers shot stun grenades and tear gas as they stormed the hospital, and once inside, put the doctors and nurses on one floor, they said. The target of the Israeli operation was a Palestinian wounded in an Israeli raid on the nearby Balata refugee camp in mid June, but it was not clear if he was in the hospital at the time. In Gaza , Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas condemned overnight Israeli air-strikes, after a meeting with the UN special envoy to the Middle East .

As the search for a captured Israeli soldier continued, Israeli aircraft hit several targets around the Gaza Strip, including a building in Gaza City where the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades has an office, Palestinians and the military said. The Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades are a violent offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement.

A missile struck the second floor of the two-story building, setting it on fire. No one was in the office at the time of the attack, after midnight. The strikes by the Israeli military followed a earlier warning from Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert that he instructed the army to do all it could to free the captured soldier, Corporal Gilad Shalit.

As part of the operation to free Shalit, Israeli forces launched three attacks near Khan Younis in southern Gaza , killing two people and wounding several others. In one attack, an Israeli aircraft attacked a group of Palestinian militants, killing two people who were later identified as members of armed Palestinian groups.

The army confirmed it had carried out an airstrike in Khan Younis after Israeli forces were attacked with seven anti-tank missiles and a rocket. Palestinians were also injured in two other purported attacks near Khan Younis, though no further information was currently available about the incidents. The attacks come as Israel expanded its operation in Gaza . Officials decided to step up the offensive, after Palestinian militants from the ruling Hamas party fired two upgraded rockets into the southern Israeli city of Ashkelon .

In October, frustrations boiled over in Gaza City as militiamen from the ruling Hamas party used guns and clubs to break up police protests over unpaid government salaries. Since Hamas won elections in January, Israel and the West have withheld tax payments and foreign aid in an effort to force Hamas to recognise and stop attacking Israel .

Two people were killed, including a 15-year-old boy, and at least 32 were wounded, including three schoolchildren and a TV cameraman for the Arab satellite TV station Al-Arabiya. After the crowd of protesters there swelled to include hundreds of police and civilians, Hamas militiamen rush in swinging clubs and firing in the air. Militiamen and security personnel - including members of Abbas' elite bodyguard unit - began trading fire on two of the main streets of Gaza City near parliament, and gunmen from both sides took positions on rooftops near the legislature.

In retaliation dozens of supporters from Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah Party ransacked and torched the empty Council of Ministers building in the West Bank city of Ramallah , the seat of the Palestinian government.

Some of the militants set an office on the second floor on fire, and soon the entire floor was engulfed in flames. The militants threw files out the windows and witnesses could see pieces of furniture being thrown about.
