RAMMALLAH, Sept.
5 (Xinhuanet) -- Israeli army troops stormed the village of Beita in the
southern West Bank city of Nablus on Sunday and demolished a house, Palestinian
security sources and witnesses said.
The Israeli troops
destroyed a house owned by Mohammed Hamdan that is located in the center of the
town, said the sources.
They said the Israeli soldiers
planted explosives inside the house and blasted it, causing severe damage to
nearby houses.
Awad Amer, head of the municipality, said
the Israeli soldiers storm the town daily and open intensive fire on the
residents' houses, adding that they seriously injured a Palestinian on Saturday.
The Israeli soldiers on Sunday pulled out from Nablus and
the villages around it, but stationed in its outskirts, Palestinian security
sources said.
The sources added that the Israeli soldiers
who erected roadblocks at the city's entrances had given permission to a medical
team which belongs to an organization called "Medics for
Human Rights" to
enter the city.
Residents in Nablus and in some villages
around it said the doctors of "Medics for Human Rights" have treated about 600
Palestinians, most of whom had been wounded or beaten by Israeli
troops.
The residents said it is the first time in four
years that Israel allows this group to enter the city which has been under
curfews, sieges and incursions for more than three years.
The Israeli army began its intensive military operations in Nablus and the surrounding villages in mid August, claiming it received warnings that militants are planning to carry out suicide bombing attacks against Israel. Enditem |
