In Jerusalem on the Day of Atonement Israelis faced a tense mood similar to 27 years ago as 82 deaths in West Bank Gaza rioting weighed on hopes for peace. Rabbis issued dispensations for fasting, soldiers may break the fast, and officials warned radios may relay emergency updates if clashes resume. Prime Minister Barak urged resilience as Israel braces for ongoing conflict risks.
