Israeli troops shot and wounded 26 Palestinians during clashes, according to Arab reports, as a general strike ordered by Islamic fundamentalists and PLO-backed leaders took effect in the occupied territories. The worst clash erupted in the Khan Yunis refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, where Israeli soldiers opened fire on stone-throwing youths and wounded 11, Arab reporters said.
