8 YEAR OLD BOY KILLED BY ISRAELI TROOPS
Israeli soldiers shot dead an eight-year-old Palestinian boy during unrest sparked by Israel's refusal to relax travel curbs in the West Bank and Gaza for a Muslim holiday.

The violence erupted after Israel reversed a decision to loosen its grip on Palestinian movement in the West Bank and Gaza Strip for the four-day Eid al-Adha holiday.

Palestinian hospital officials in the West Bank city of Qalqilya said the eight-year-old died after being hit in the chest by gunfire from troops attacked by stone-throwers.

They said 10 other Palestinians were wounded.

Israeli military sources said soldiers in Qalqilya had fired at three Palestinians who had thrown petrol bombs at them.
