Jerusalem: Palestinians shot dead two Jewish settlers on August 5 North of Ramallah in the West Bank, a military source said.

The settlers were driving in a car when the Palestinians opened fire at them from another vehicle. Two passengers in the settlers' car were lightly injured, the source said.

Six Palestinian attacks took place on August 4, killing 10 people and wounding more than 70, despite the re-occupation of the West Bank by the Israeli Army in a bid to stop the killings.

Four Palestinians also died on August 4, one in the Gaza Strip, another killed by the bomb he set off in a bus in Israel, a third who fired at a telephone company car in East Jerusalem, and the last in the ensuing shootout.
