Palestinian gunmen killed an Israeli woman who worked as a customs agent when they opened fire on a car at the Karni Crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip. Two Palestinian teen-agers were also killed during fighting in Gaza. Israel later brought in tanks after Palestinian police joined with other Arabs in a gun battle with Israeli troops at the crossing.
