Palestinian children march during a demonstration in the Gaza Strip.
A senior official of the militant Islamic group Hamas said on Thursday it would not carry out suicide attacks against Israeli civilians provided Israeli soldiers stopped killing Palestinian civilians. A suburban family leaving their comfortable life and home in south Florida might not raise eyebrows - moves happen. But when mom, dad and two little kids are headed for a small nation torn by months of violence, it's another matter. A Palestinian killed an Israeli soldier when he opened fire on a vehicle on Thursday south of Jerusalem before being killed himself by an Israeli security guard, Israeli public radio reported. Despite an agreement on a US cease-fire plan, three Israelis and three Palestinians were wounded as sporadic violence erupted in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, sources on both sides said.
