Israeli Soldiers Shoot and Kill 4 Palestinians
----------------------------------------------

In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, Israeli soldiers shot and killed four
Palestinians Thursday, whom Israeli authorities had accused of launching
two separate stabbing attacks. The shootings occurred at the Jewish-only
settlements of Gush Etzion and at an Israeli checkpoint near Hebron.
Since October, Israeli soldiers and armed settlers have killed at least
137 Palestinians. Twenty-one Israelis and one U.S. citizen have been
killed over the same time period.
