Romeo and Juliet in Gaza
(Yediot Ahronot-Hebrew, 11 June 04) Hanan Greenberg - On Wednesday, IDF soldiers spotted a Palestinian couple in their 20s approaching the security fence near Kfar Darom in Gaza. The soldiers at first thought they were dealing with suicide attackers, but something about the pair caused the soldiers to hesitate before opening fire. After their capture, the couple explained that they had been seeing each other for six years, but their families disapproved of their marrying. Out of despair, they decided to commit suicide by entering a forbidden zone so that the soldiers would shoot them. After additional questioning, the two were released.
