| Source: IAP, Jihad Unspun The residents of Nablus City were placed under curfew this morning, while a large number of occupation soldiers spread through-out the city and carried out a wide-scale campaign of house raids and searches in various residential areas and surroundings of refugee camps. At least 11 people were wounded with live ammunition this afternoon in Nablus, mostly children. According to Red Crescent sources, Israeli soldiers prevent ambualnces from reaching the wounded. It's always "mostly kiddies," isn't it? And they always stop the ambulances for coming to pick up the carcasses... Israeli forces are reported to have raided a refugee camp in the Gaza Strip killing at least one armed Palestinian. Palestinian security officials said tanks and armoured vehicles had moved into the Maghazi camp backed by helicopters. In the Gaza Strip, witnesses said Yiad Abu Zayad, 28, was killed and his brother injured when Israeli forces fired on a car in which gunmen were travelling on the outskirts of the Maghazi camp. We can probably assume they were the gunmen. But I don't really care if they were or not. The Paleos are fond of random violence, let them enjoy it if it flows the other way. But the Israelis still haven't been pushed over the edge, because Yassin, Rantissi, Shanab, and Arafat aren't dead yet. |
