| Israel arrests Hamas operative in Ramallah, demolishes houses in Rafah |
| 2002-07-01 |
| Witnesses said three Israeli tanks and a bulldozer entered the Rafah refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip early on Monday and demolished seven houses. They fired shells and Israeli troops exchanged fire with Palestinians. Hospital sources said a gunman and a civilian were wounded. Nope. IDF is still not feeling friendly... An Israeli soldier was lightly injured Monday morning after an explosive device placed along the Egyptian-Israeli border detonated near an israeli patrol. Soldiers opened fire on the spot they believed the device was detonated from and the soldier was evacuated for medical treatment. Too bad they missed the attempted murderers... An 18-year-old Palestinian shot by troops on Sunday during a stone-throwing protest in the Deheishe refugee camp near Bethlehem died on Monday, hospital sources said. Guess he shoulda stayed home. Sympathy meter's still busted... Meanwhile, Israeli soldiers, enforcing a continued curfew in Nablus, arrested a Palestinian woman suspected of planning a suicide bombing and seized a wanted Hamas member. Another Bomb Bitch. Nobody's impressed anymore, except for Hamas. Suet is suet, regardless of gender... Israeli troops earlier entered 10 villages near the central West Bank city of Ramallah and began searching for weapons, explosives and suspected activists, in what Palestinians said appeared an expansion of the military reoccupation of the Ramallah area. So maybe the PA should have taken care of that sort of housekeeping when it had the chance. For some reason the International Indignation® hasn't kicked in yet... |
