                 Israelis, Palestinians Resume Gaza Truce Talks

   by VOA News

   Talks between Israel and the Palestinians to cement the Gaza cease-fire
   agreement signed last month resumed Tuesday in Cairo .

   The Egyptian-mediated deal was delayed by several hours, however, as
   the Palestinians considered backing out after Israel said it had killed
   two Hamas militants suspected in the deaths three Israeli teenagers in
   June.

   The attack triggered a chain of events, culminating in a bloody war in
   Gaza from July to August.

   Army spokesman Peter Lerner said Tuesday that troops killed Amer Abu
   Aisheh and Marwan Qawasmeh in an exchange of gunfire at a house in the
   West Bank city of Hebron.

   He said the military confirmed the killing of one suspect and believed
   the other was dead, but did not have visual confirmation.

   The June 12 abduction set off a massive manhunt that included the
   arrests of hundreds of Hamas members.  The militant group initially
   denied involvement, but later acknowledged responsibility for abducting
   the teens.

   Israeli extremists later kidnapped and killed a Palestinian youth in an
   apparent revenge attack.
