3 Hurt in Shooting at Israeli Border
Israeli soldiers shot at stone-throwers preparing a Molotov cocktail near Fatima Gate on the Israeli-Lebanese border, injuring a 13-year-old and two journalists--a Canadian and a Lebanese. It was the second violent incident in the area in two days; both times Israeli soldiers opened fire. U.N. peacekeepers have deployed in much of southern Lebanon, but not near Fatima Gate. There, hurling stones at an Israeli observation post has become a ritual for visitors from Lebanon since Israel withdrew its troops from southern Lebanon in May.
