Cease-fire talks face new hurdles amid fresh Gaza violence
Israeli troops killed two Palestinians who attacked a military post near Dugit in the northern Gaza Strip as militant groups Hamas and Islamic Jihad rejected any cease-fire. U S envoy Anthony Zinni prepared for another round of talks amid lingering clashes and pressure on Palestinian leader Arafat. Subha Abu Manus, a teacher in Khan Younis, was killed by shrapnel, and a four year old girl died from a head wound in Rafah. Bush urged Arafat to intensify crackdown on militants while noting no progress yet.
