JERUSALEM — Rioting broke out today at a desert prison camp where Palestinians are held, and Israeli troops shot and killed two of the inmates and wounded three, an army spokesman said.
Military sources said dozens of prisoners, most of them detained without trial for alleged involvement in an eight-month-old Palestinian uprising, rioted at the Ketziot Prison. No injuries to Israeli personnel were reported. Troops in the occupied Gaza Strip confined all 650,000 residents of the area to their homes for a second day in the latest Israeli effort to crush the uprising.
