Jerusalem - Fresh violence between Palestinians and Israelis marred the Jewish Passover holiday and Christian Palm Sunday, despite seasonal messages of goodwill conveyed over the echo of gunfire.
An 18-month-old girl was in critical condition after Israeli soldiers confronting stone-throwing Palestinian youths shot her in the head with a rubber-coated metal bullet as her family walked home. The baby's eight-year-old brother was shot in the hand during the clash in the Israeli-controlled part of Al-Khader, near the West Bank city of Bethlehem. An army spokeswoman said she was checking the report.
