SUBJECT: THE SITUATION ON THE GROUND APRIL 28, 2004 -- 
(1300 HOURS LOCAL) -- FOUR SOLDIERS WOUNDED APRIL 28 AS IDF 
THWARTS SUICIDE ATTACK IN GAZA 
 
 
THIS IS A JOINT MESSAGE FROM EMBASSY TEL AVIV AND CONGEN 
JERUSALEM. 
 
------- 
SUMMARY 
------- 
 
1.  (SBU) Summary: Israeli media reported that four Israelis 
were injured, one seriously, in an attempted suicide car 
bombing April 28 when a jeep exploded under IDF gunfire as it 
was speeding towards the settlement of Kfar Darom.  Three 
Palestinians were killed April 26 in the Mughazi camp in an 
argument that apparently broke out when two of the men tried 
to seize an explosive belt from the third at gunpoint.  Hamas 
issued a statement declaring that the two men who attempted 
to seize the belt were Israeli collaborators who tried to 
detain the third, who was a Hamas militant planning to use 
the belt in a suicide attack.  In the West Bank, the IDF 
killed two Palestinians alleged to be members of Hamas in 
Tulkarem.  The operation, in which another Palestinian was 
wounded, led to subsequent clashes in Tulkarem, injuring an 
additional six Palestinians.  Israel border police detained 
Al-Quds University President Sari Nussaybah for five hours of 
questioning on April 28.

-- Death/Injury: The IDF killed two Palestinians April 27 in 
Tulkarm.  The two were reported to be members of Hamas. 
Another Palestinian was wounded in the operation and 
subsequently arrested.  Clashes in Tulkarm following this
