GAZA, Aug. 25
(Xinhuanet) -- Israeli Army troops launched a second raid Wednesday on the
southern Gaza city of al Meghraqa and arrested eight Palestinians, according to
Palestinian security sources.
Israeli Army forces backed by
several tanks and bulldozers invaded the area with intensive gunfire, razing
hundreds of donums of the Palestinian residents' cultivated lands, said the
sources.
It is the second raid on al Meghraqa Wednesday by
Israeli Army troops stationed nearby. Earlier, Israeli tanks raided al Meghraqa
and another southern Gaza city of al Qarara.
Eight
Palestinians including a 70-year-old man were arrested in the operation which
lasted for a couple of hours. Then the troops pulled out, according to
witnesses.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Army stationed in their military posts near the area are still opening fire from time to time at the residents' houses, said the witnesses. Enditem |
