Israeli Troops Withdraw From Beit Rima Amid West Bank Tensions
Israeli forces pulled back from Beit Rima after a daylong operation that left five Palestinians dead, as Prime Minister Sharon held consultations on further West Bank withdrawals. Renewed violence saw two more Palestinians killed in Bethlehem and clashes near Tulkarem, while the U.S. pressed Israel to pull back from six towns. Israel said it arrested Palestinians suspected in the Zeevi assassination and warned of further action if attacks continued.
