Israeli border guards wound Palestinian workers

Three Palestinian workers were wounded Sunday after Israeli border guards shot them near Al-Dhahriah town, west of Hebron, Palestinian sources reported.

The Israeli guards opened fire at the Palestinians who were returning home from work. The victims were rushed to hospital.

This incident took place while Palestinian President Yasser Arafat and Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu are convening in the USA under the auspices of Washington to unlock the stalled Mideast peace process.
