[0:03] This is the CBS Evening News
[0:08] with Dan Rather and Connie Chung.
[0:12] >> Good evening. The leaders of Israel and
[0:13] the PLO won the Nobel Peace Prize today,
[0:15] but there is no peace in the Holy Land.
[0:19] >> Israeli commandos tonight tried to
[0:21] rescue a kidnapped soldier in a daring
[0:23] raid, but it ended in failure and
[0:25] tragedy. Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin
[0:27] said the 19-year-old hostage was killed
[0:29] by his captors in the Islamic resistance
[0:31] movement Hamas. CBS News correspondent

[1:14] that if they keep hostages
[1:17] in areas that we can carry military
[1:20] activity,
[1:22] we will do it.
[1:23] >> But that was small compensation for the
[1:25] friends and family who gathered outside
[1:26] the Waxman home in Jerusalem. Waxman's
[1:29] parents had done everything in their
[1:30] power to save him, offering their
[1:32] prayers as the Sabbath began tonight and
[1:35] ransom money to the kidnappers. The
