About 500 people, many of whom belong to Arafat's Fatah movement gathered at a rally, firing their weapons into the air and chanting messages of support. Despite the almost-constant firing of weapons into the air, the protest was peaceful and no injuries have been reported. In the West Bank, Arafat's supporters defied Israeli military curfews by holding their own marches. Four people have been killed in clashes with Israeli security forces. Two were killed in Ramallah, one in the town of Nablus and one in Tulkarem, where gunmen traded fire with Israeli soldiers, Palestinian hospital officials said. Much of Arafat's compound has been destroyed, and the 73-year-old Palestinian President is thought to be trapped in the only wing of his office building still left standing.
