Five killed in Israeli raid

Israeli troops killed two gunmen and three teenagers when they raided a Gaza town today as Palestinians marked Naqba Day, the anniversary of their displacement during the creation of Israel in 1948.

The military operation, one of the largest in recent months, came two days before the first Israeli-Palestinian summit since 2000, and a week ahead of talks between Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon and President George Bush on a new peace plan.
