Two youths among a group of some 100 rioters attacking an army post in the Jebeliya refugee camp near Gaza were wounded this morning when soldiers in the post opened fire to drive off the rioters. The rioters threw rocks and a gasoline bomb at the army post, and the soldiers first responded with rubber bullets and tear gas before opening fire at the attackers legs, army sources said.

Near Jenin on the West Bank four youths were killed when a land mine exploded, the sources said. But other sources said their deaths may have resultted from mishandling of a bomb they were assembling.

Meanwhile, in Jerusalem a young woman who was shot in the head by an Israeli civilian whose car was stoned by demonstrators died today at Hadassah Hospital where she had been taken. The woman was identified as a resident of the Aroub refugee camp in the Hebron area.
