One protester was shot dead when the army fired back, the military said.

On Saturday night, the army fired a missile into one of the walls.

"At least the army doesn't fire on the people," he said, again referring to the rebel troops.

There are also reports that the army has fired into the crowds from helicopters.

The army fired back from the street below and the bullet holes are still visible.

The army could not have fired upon these civilians.

Israeli officials have been at pains to emphasize that the army does not fire on churches.

But a military official said the Israeli Army had not fired on the house.

On Sunday, 17 December, the army fired into the crowd.

Witnesses said the army fired rockets at a protest camp, killing several men.
