In the Jordan Valley, 2 Palestinian gunmen (1 AMB, 1 PFLP) raid an IDF base, killing 2 IDF soldiers, wounding 9 before being shot dead. Later, in the 2d such incident in 2 days, IDF helicopters fire missiles at Islamic Jihad military leader Mahmud Zatma as he drives through Gaza City, assassinating him, injuring 15 Palestinian bystanders (including 12 children leaving school, 1 woman). In an apparent assassination attempt, IDF undercover units raid Tulkarm, fire on a car carrying 3 AMB mbrs., wounding them, killing 1 bystander.

Netzarim; shells residential areas of Rafah; demolishes a Palestinian home in Ramallah. (HA, MM 4/10; NYT, WP 4/11; PR 4/16; LAW, PCHR 4/17; MEI 4/18)
