Much of the violence is under-reported leaving a distorted picture of the cycle of violence. From the start of the roadmap process, this blog will try to catalog any violence resulting in deaths on either side, as well as the number of wounded with one entry per event. It also includes violence against peace activists and charitable volunteers. Prior violence is cataloged for context only.

Palestinian suicide bomber kills nine in Tel Aviv - Yahoo! News
Palestinian suicide bomber kills nine in Tel Aviv - Yahoo! News: " By Tali Caspi and Jonathan Saul Mon Apr 17, 5:28 PM ET
TEL AVIV (Reuters) - A Palestinian suicide bomber killed nine people and wounded 60 outside a Tel Aviv restaurant during the Jewish holiday of Passover on Monday, an attack the governing Islamic group Hamas called an act of self-defense.
...
The Tel Aviv bomber blew himself up outside a fast food restaurant in a run-down neighborhood in the middle of the week-long Passover holiday. Medics put the number killed at nine, not including the teenaged attacker.
The eatery, target of a suicide attack in January in which only the bomber died, was wrecked and pools of blood were left on the ground outside.
"I saw a young guy who was carrying a blue bag," said Moussa al-Zedad, who witnessed the explosion. "He was stopped by a security guard who asked what was in the bag. He opened the bag and everything went up in the air."
In the northern Gaza Strip Gaza Strip town of Beit Lahiye, an Israeli artillery shell killed a Palestinian and wounded two others, medics said. The Israeli military has been firing toward areas from which militants launch cross-border rocket attacks.
TEENAGED BOMBER
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri called the Tel Aviv bombing "a natural result of the continued Israeli crimes against our people."
"Our people are in a state of self-defense and they have every right to use all means to defend themselves," he said.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, a moderate, condemned the bombing. But Islamic Jihad, pledging more attacks, said Abbas should have condemned Israeli military actions instead. ...

Israeli forces have killed at least 26 Palestinians -- at least 5 of them children -- and injured 161 Palestinians
Least we forget: "Least we forget | By Alison Weir
04/18/06 'ICH' -- -- In the last two and a half weeks (since the previous suicide bombing) Israeli forces have killed at least 26 Palestinians -- at least 5 of them children -- and injured 161 Palestinian men, women and children. A college student lost her right eye today after being shot by an Israeli sniper last week.
There have been 369 raids by Israeli forces, mostly into the West Bank. Gaza has undergone sustained shelling by Israeli forces and continued closures, resulting in increasing lack of food and medical supplies. According to UN reports, between March 30 and April 12th, Israeli forces launched 2300 artillery and tank shells and 34 missiles into Gaza.
Since the current Palestinian uprising against Israeli military occupation and confiscation of Palestinian land began in fall 2000, approximately 3,863 Palestinians and 1,084 Israelis and have been killed. Among these have been approximately 720 Palestinian children and 124 Israeli children.
Today, in separate actions, several Palestinian youths were shot, one in the neck. Israeli forces are continuing their ongoing invasions of Nablus and other West Bank cities.
Today is Palestinian Prisoners Day. 9,400 Palestinian men, women, and children are in prison. According to numerous human rights reports, Palestinian prisoners are frequently tortured. Defense for Children International reports that 4,000 Palestinian children have been arrested in the past five years, 400 of them currently in prison, including a fifteen-year-old girl, who has been in prison for over a year after being shot in the stomach by Israeli soldiers. DCI reports that the arrests are increasing. "
...
At 5.30pm on Monday 10 April 2006, at least six artillery shells fired by the Israeli military fell on the family house of Mohammed Rabe'eya Ghaban in Beit Lahiya, in the north of the Gaza Strip. Shrapnel from the shells pierced the skull of Mohammed's eight-year old daughter Hadeel, killing her instantly. The shelling also resulted in the injury of eight other family members, including Hadeel's brothers and sisters:
Rawan Ghaban 1 and a half years old
Rana Ghaban 3 years old

Amneh Ghaban 9 years old
Ghassan Ghaban 11 years old
