FRANK SESNO, CNN ANCHOR: To the Middle East now, violence between Israelis and Palestinians continues, despite a cease-fire agreement reached yesterday at the conclusion of that emergency summit meeting attended by President Clinton and President Mubarak and others. There is also a new development in the killing of two Israeli soldiers. CNN's Ben Wedeman reports.</s>BEN WEDEMAN, CNN CORRESPONDENT: These pictures sent waves of horror through Israel. Two Israeli reservist killed by an angry crowd in Ramallah last Thursday. And now Israel has gone after the men suspected of the killing. According to Israeli sources, an undercover unit entered Ramallah and brought out eight Palestinian suspected of the killings to stand trial in Israel for murder. A daring move, but one that could inflame an already volatile situation. More clashes Wednesday, this time in Gaza at the Kefar Daron Junction (ph). Palestinian stone throwers against Israeli soldiers guarding a Jewish settlement. And there was no cease-fire in the West Bank town of Hebron. It was another night of fiery exchanges between Palestinian gunmen and Israeli soldiers. South of Jerusalem tanks stood at the ready for more trouble in the suburb of Gilo following a gun battle that left one Israeli border policeman seriously wounded. And outside Bethlehem, two Israeli soldiers wounded in clashes; one critically. Following more clashes Tuesday in towns around the West Bank and Gaza strip and against a backdrop of mounting opposition to the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement, the Islamic resistance organization Hamas says it will keep up the fight against Israel. And Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon has let it be known he will not join Prime Minister Ehud Barak in an emergency government, leaving the Israeli leader exposed to more domestic challenges when his plate is already full of other problems. (on camera): The longer it takes for the Sharm el-Sheikh agreement to go into effect, the less effect it will have in restoring calm. Every new clash, every new casualty puts at risk all the efforts of the peacemakers. Ben Wedeman, CNN, Jerusalem.
