A PALESTINIAN BOY LOOKS FROM BEHIND CORNER DURING GUNBATTLES IN BETHLEHEM

A Palestinian boy looks from a corner during fierce gunbattles between Israeli troops and Palestinian fighters in the West bank town of Bethlehem on October 24, 2001. Accusing Arafat of failing to crack down on militants, Israel moved troops and armour into or around six Palestinian cities, including Bethlehem, the birthplace of Jesus, after gunmen from a radical Palestinian group killed far-right cabinet minister Rehavam Zeevi. Since then at least 37 Palestinians and one Israeli, mostly civilians, have been killed. REUTERS/Mahfouz Abu Turk
