RAISING THE DEAD

Opponents of Israel's Gaza pullout were penned into a farming village today, surrounded by police and confused over their next move. Some of their leaders admitted defeat in what was to have been the most formidable protest yet - a march of thousands to Gaza to join the settlers there.

Reports now suggest there are 50 people wounded in the suicide bombing in Israel.

An explosion has taken place in the Israeli city of Petah Tikva. Initial reports suggest at least 15 people have been injured.
