A Palestinian gunman runs for cover after Israeli soldiers opened fire toward a group of Palestinian gunmen at the entrance to the old city, where armed Palestinians had set up makeshift barricades in the West Bank city of Nablus, April 4, 2002. Israeli tanks smashed their way into the West Bank's biggest Palestinian city of Nablus as the European Union, frustrated by the U.S. failure to restrain Israel's assault, launched its own peace mission on Thursday.
