ISRAELI SOLDIERS AT A HEBRON ROADBLOCK DURING CURFEW, 1998-10-27 (photo)

Israeli infantry soldiers patrol near the Jewish settlement enclave of Beit Hadassah at a roadblock during a curfew on the Palestinian population in the Israeli-controlled sector of the city October 27. Israel imposed a curfew and a closure on Palestinians entering the Palestinian-controlled sector of the city after a Jewish settler, Danny Vargas, was shot dead outside the settlement of Kiriyat Arba. Vargas is the first Jew to be killed by Palestinian militants since the signing of the Wye Plantation interim peace agreement in Washington. A Palestinian man, age 65, was found dead in the northern West Bank near Nablus hours after the Vargas murder. JWH/SB
