West Bank clashes continue

PALESTINIAN youths threw stones and bottles at Israeli troops yesterday who responded with rubber bullets, wounding six Palestinians in a fourth day of West Bank clashes. The latest round of violence began on Thursday with mass Palestinian demonstrations to mark al nakba, or the catastrophe - which is how Palestinians view Israel's founding 50 years ago. Five Palestinians were killed in Thursday's clashes.
