But the situation in the West Bank can be gauged from the fact that Israeli forces raided the Balata refugee camp in the northern city of Nablus, triggering a shootout that killed two Palestinians.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health identified the two as Said Mesha, 32, and Adnan Araj, 19. At least three other Palestinians were injured in the raid. Israel has launched an almost daily operation to arrest suspected terrorists in the region. Meanwhile, hopes for a ceasefire between Israel and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad appear to be waning.
