Israel Tanks Surround West Bank Towns
The United States has asked Israel to stay out of Palestinian areas. Israeli tanks had just pulled out of Jenin last week, and the retaking of some areas came as Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon visited the United States.

At sundown Saturday, Israeli tanks fired randomly toward the southern outskirts of Jenin and an adjacent refugee camp, Palestinian witnesses said.

A 19-year-old taxi passenger and an 11-year-old boy were killed by large-caliber bullets fired from tank-mounted machine guns, said Mohammed Abu Ghali, director of Jenin Hospital. Both victims suffered head wounds, he said. Witnesses said the boy was shot as he and other youngsters threw stones at soldiers.
