LINDA STOUFFER, CNN ANCHOR: Well, with Israel's prime minister promising to use all available means to end violence in the Middle East, efforts continue throughout the night to stop the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians. CNN Jerusalem bureau chief Mike Hanna joins us live right now with the very latest. Mike, hello.</s>MIKE HANNA, CNN JERUSALEM BUREAU CHIEF: Hello, Linda. Well, the streets behind me are silent on this Yom Kippur, or day of atonement, the most sacred holiday in the Jewish calendar; no traffic in the streets, the normally busy bus station standing silent. But not all the streets in Jerusalem were quiet overnight. Conflict broke out in neighborhoods between Arabs and Israelis, Jews; stones were thrown, insults were exchanged. Scenes like this reported from other parts of Israel and in the West Bank. In the Israeli town of Nazareth there was intense fighting between Jews and Palestinians, Jews and Arabs, that is reported, and that particular clash in Nazareth, at least one Israeli Arab was shot and killed. Israeli police say that a Jewish settler was found dead, also shot, near the West Bank town of Nablus. So, once again, we're seeing a series of incidents here. A report, too, from the Ramallah hospital that a 40-year-old Palestinian there has just died. A doctor at the hospital says he was beaten to death, his body was burned. These incidents of violence placing great strain on the round of diplomatic negotiations that are now underway. The U.N. Secretary General Kofi Annan, on his way to the region for talks with Ehud Barak and the Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. President Clinton reportedly attempting to convene yet another summit between the leaders in a bid to negotiate an end to this violence, to get agreement on a cessation of these hostilities -- Linda.</s>STOUFFER: Mike Hanna, live in Jerusalem.
