      Attacks put Mideast at boiling point
      Deadliest day of uprising

      Mar 9, 2002

      JERUSALEM - In the deadliest day in 17 months of fighting, Israel raided Palestinian towns and refugee camps yesterday, killing at least 39 Palestinians. Five Israeli teenagers and a soldier were killed.

      Yesterday capped the bloodiest week since September 2000, with 108 Palestinians and 36 Israelis killed in the past seven days.

      Even as the battles raged, Prime Minister Ariel Sharon suggested he was dropping his insistence on a week of calm before the two sides begin implementing a truce.

      And the Bush administration took a tougher line on Israel, demanding an immediate halt to the Israeli strikes. President George W. Bush made a surprise decision to send an envoy to the region next week.

      Early today, at least one Israeli helicopter gunship fired up to four missiles eat       Palestinian Authority installations, including the office compound of the governor in Nablus, Palestinian officials said.

      TOUGHER LINE
      Israeli troops in a Gaza village and two West Bank refugee camps used machineguns, tanks and helicopters to attack Palestinian positions yesterday.

      "The sky was raining with bullets from all directions," farmer Hatem Abu Teir said of the Israeli assault on the Gaza village of Khouza, where 16 Palestinians, including a general, were killed. The army called Khouza a "centre of terrorist activity."

      In the West Bank refugee camp of Tulkarem, dozens of Palestinian gunmen were pinned, surrounded by Israeli forces, including helicopter gunships firing from above. About 250 Palestinians were rounded up.

      Israeli troops barred Palestinian ambulances from entering the camp, and a count of six Palestinians killed - including a 9-year-old boy - was expected to climb. An Israeli soldier was also killed in the fighting.

      In the Jewish settlement of Atzmona in Gaza, a teenaged Palestinian gunman killed five Israeli teens Thursday night. He was shot dead by Israeli troops.
