Israeli Tank Kills Two in Gaza Strip
In the Gaza shootings, Randa Hindi and her 2-year-old daughter, Noor, were killed by machine gun fire from an Israeli tank while traveling in a taxi in central Gaza, according to Dr. Ahmed Rabeh, spokesman for al-Aqsa hospital in Deir Balah.

A passenger in the taxi, Jamal Ismail, 29, said the car came under fire just after passing the Netzarim junction near a Jewish settlement that is heavily guarded by the army. Hindi screamed, and the driver sped away. The other passengers included two more of Hindi's children, but no one else was hurt.

``When I looked back, I saw a very horrible scene I can never forget. The woman and her baby were in a pool of blood,'' Ismail said.

But the army denied that there was any Israeli firing in the area.

``Any soldier who is committing a crime is not at all questioned, even by his leader in this occupation army,'' said Palestinian Information Minister Yasser Abed Rabbo.

Also, in Gaza, a 44-year-old Palestinian man, Subhi Shurab, was killed by Israeli gunfire while walking from the southern Gaza city of Khan Yunis to his home just outside town, Palestinian security officials said. The army spokesman's office said it was unaware of any shooting in the area.

Since the Israeli forces took over Palestinian areas in the West Bank more than two weeks ago, 20 Palestinians and no Israelis have been killed.
