Death Toll at 65, Israel Withdraws Dozens of Tanks from Two West Bank Flashpoints

HeadlineOct 05, 2000

With the death toll at 65, Israel has withdrawn dozens of tanks from two West Bank flashpoints. The gesture is the result of a verbal agreement reached between Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in Paris. But there’s no deal on paper, and it’s not clear yet if the bloodshed is over. Although it’s been relatively quiet so far today, the violence in the Palestinian areas tends to intensify in the afternoons and evenings. Again, that death toll of 65, overwhelmingly it’s Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli fire.
