From Times Wire Reports
Five Palestinians were killed after Israeli soldiers swept into the West Bank town of Tulkarm, including a leading militant and a teenager who had climbed on an Israeli armored vehicle. Two others died in the Gaza Strip.
The Tulkarm dead included Tarek Zaghal, 24, a member of the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade who Israel says was involved in a Jan. 17 attack that killed six Israelis and wounded 35.
In Gaza, two men, accused by the Israeli army of being gunmen, were shot outside the Jewish settlement of Kfar Darom.
