A seven-year-old Arab boy was injured during a demonstration at the Balata refugee camp near Nablus today. The child, struck by debris from a ricocheting bullet, was treated at a local hospital. A curfew was imposed on the camp. The melee started when camp residents burned tires, waved Palestinian flags and threw stones at Israeli soldiers sent to restore order. A Molotov cocktail was thrown at a civilian vehicle on the main street of Gaza today without causing injuries or damage.
