Israeli-Palestinian clashes continue. The IDF raids another PA-controlled area of Gaza, sending 3 tanks, 2 bulldozers into Rafah to raze a PSF post. Serious clashes are also reported in Qalqilya. At the U.S.'s urging, Israeli, PA security officials resume security talks at Erez, though only limited progress is made. (AP, NYT, WT 4/22; AYM 4/22 in WNC 4/25; NYT, WP 4/23; DUS 4/27 in WNC 4/30)
