A 21yearold Israeli gunman, dismissed from the army in 1988 and distraught over personal problems, sparked curfews as violence surged. Palestinians attacked outposts and cars, with seven killed and hundreds injured across Gaza and the West Bank.

Overall toll rose to 702 Palestinians killed and 43 Israelis killed since December 1987.
