CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Palestinians clashed with Israeli forces near Ramallah and the Israeli security service acknowledged it has taken into custody a Palestinian Israelis believe participated in the killing of two Israeli soldiers there. CNN's Fionnuala Sweeney is in Ramallah, where it is just after 2:00 in the afternoon, with the latest developments -- Fionnuala.</s>FIONNUALA SWEENEY, CNN CORRESPONDENT: Carol, we understand that at least 30 Palestinians have been injured in clashes here in Ramallah and the West Bank. The confrontation continuing now for about an hour and 20 minutes or so. They began just after Friday prayers ended here for Muslims at the mosque in Ramallah. You can see behind me a number of Israeli army jeeps at the edge of the Israeli sector confronting Palestinians who gathered there after the mosque prayer service ended. Tear gas has been deployed. Rubber bullets, steel-coated rubber bullets have also been deployed by the Israeli army, and a stun grenade also within the last few minutes. That's designed to disorientate the Palestinian demonstrators. They have been throwing rocks and Molotov cocktails. And occasionally when they manage to get hold of a tear gas canister that has been thrown their way, they lob it back at the Israelis. The ambulances have been streaming down the Palestinian road here ahead of us picking up the injured and taking them off to hospital. This is the northern entrance to Ramallah. And behind the picture you're seeing now, some six kilometers away, is the southern entrance to Ramallah. And there is a refugee camp there, a Palestinian refugee camp called Kalandia. And we understand there are clashes taking place there also. Reports of one Palestinian dead at Tukarun (ph), which is also in the West Bank. Thousands of demonstrators, we're told, taking part in marches throughout Gaza and the West Bank now that the Friday day of prayer has ended -- Carol.</s>LIN: All right, thank you very much, Fionnuala Sweeney, keeping an eye on the situation in the West Bank town of Ramallah.
