Israeli anti-pullout activists lock government offices
www.chinaview.cn 2005-06-05 18:34:50

    JERUSALEM, June 5 (Xinhuanet) -- Israeli right-wing activists sealed with super glue government offices across the country early Sunday to protest a planned pullout from the Gaza Strip and northern West Bank, the Yedioth Ahronoth daily reported.

    According to the report, the offices that were shut include the Interior Ministry, Income Tax Authority, National Insurance Institute and the Postal Authority.

    Tel Aviv police said guards were able to foil the protest at most locations including a government office complex in central Tel Aviv. However, some damage was done to several locks at several locations, police said.

    Posters posted by activists on government office doors read, "The expulsion won't happen."

    The anti-pullout activists also threatened to set up road blocks and close schools and government offices to paralyze the entire country unless the disengagement plan is called off.

    Meanwhile, five youngsters of about 15 were detained in Jerusalem on suspicion of planning to lock government offices. The boys apparently intended to seal Education Ministry and Stock Exchange facilities.

    Israel is scheduled to evacuate troops and settlers from all 21 settlements in the Gaza Strip and four of 120 in the West Bank in mid-August.

    The plan has met with fierce opposition from rightists and some settlers. Enditem
