- <p>Despite the crackdown on Palestinian leaders, Israel's violence
- escalates
- </p>
- <p> When Israel deported 415 alleged Islamic agitators last
- December, the idea was to curb attacks by fundamentalist
- Palestinians on Jewish soldiers and civilians. It hasn't worked,
- as evidenced by the casualties so far this month: 10 Israelis
- killed and 14 wounded. Clashes between protesters and security
- forces have also left nine Palestinians dead and some 400
- injured. The expulsion of Hamas' political leadership has only
- freed its young gunmen to act more violently. "Now we need not
- have long discussions about the consequences of acting," says
- a field leader. "We just go ahead."

- <p> Adding to the sense of crisis was a mysterious shooting in
- the Gaza Strip that may have been an assassination attempt on
- Dr. Haidar Abdel-Shafi, the chief Palestinian negotiator in the
- Middle East peace talks. As a large group of Gazans left a
- private home, shots killed a Palestinian teacher standing six
- feet from Abdel-Shafi. He blamed panicky Israeli soldiers, but
- the military denied responsibility, and activists from the Red
- Eagles, a Palestinian group that opposes the peace talks,
- claimed credit.
