Mideast accord hit by renewed clashes and rocket fire
Israeli and Palestinian leaders spoke by phone arranged by Vladimir Putin but renewed violence undercut the pledge to resume security coordination. Five Palestinians and two Israelis died as clashes and rocket attacks spread across the West Bank and Gaza. An Israeli motorist was killed in a roadside ambush, and a tank shelling in Bethlehem drew conflicting accounts from authorities. The toll in two months of fighting rose to 271 as both sides warned the truce may unravel.
