JERUSALEM: Three Israeli reservists were killed early Dec.7 when Palestinian guerillas raked their patrol with gunfire in the occupied Gaza Strip, the army said.
‘The attack came just hours before Arab-Israeli peace talks reconvened in Washington. The Muslim fundamentalist group Hamas, which opposes the talks, claimed responsibility and said it would intensify its attacks to mark the beginning of the sixth year of Palestinian uprising, which began Dec.9, 1987.
The government retaliated by announcing that Gaza Strip Palestinians would be barred from entering Israel.
