<p>A rash of violence in and around Israel further dampens prospects
for peace
</p>
<p> It's been a bad spell in the midst of a bad season. Gunmen shot
an Israeli couple in their automobile last Sunday, injuring
both; the next day stone throwers who hit a car fractured the
skull of an infant passenger. At a Jerusalem bus stop on the
same day, an assailant believed to be Palestinian stabbed a
man to death and injured a woman before fleeing. Israeli soldiers
shot and killed five Palestinians last week, for a total of
18 this month. The blood swapping comes amid tensions over the
deportation in December of about 400 Palestinians as well as
the current effort to resume Middle East peace talks. Worsening
the climate, Israeli and South Lebanese Army units killed six
Lebanese and Palestinian gunmen as well as two civilians in
clashes north of the security zone. U.S. Secretary of State
Warren Christopher waltzed into the region's ferment, arriving
in Cairo at the start of a six-country tour. His task: to get
the peace talks moving again.
