Palestine-Israel, Military, 1/6/2003

Two Palestinians yesterday carried out two operations near a coach station in the downtown of Tel Aviv that resulted in killing 23 Israeli settlers and wounding other 80, seven of them in a critical health condition.

The Israeli radio said that two violent explosions took place at two road crossings just 200 meters far from each other and resulted in heavy damages, while the Israeli TV said that there was only one minute of time between the two explosions.

Meantime, one Israeli soldier was wounded in clashes that took place yesterday at one of the Israeli military positions near Ghoushe Katif settlement while the Israeli forces carried out a campaign of arrest that targeted seven Palestinians from Toulkarem, Nablus, Qalqilya and three from Gaza and also other three from Ya'bud, Jenin on charges of resisting the occupation and having weapons. The Israeli forces had arrested 1300 Palestinian by the end of last week in the territories of 1948.

The Israeli defense minister Shoul Mofaz said that his forces arrested 104 Palestinians on charges of resisting occupation, and simultaneously tried to justify the policy of demolishing the Arab houses under the pretext that they constitute a deterrent element for resistance acts.

On the other hand, some 200 Palestinian and foreign activists yesterday removed a barrier composed of soil and cement that was installed by the Israeli army in the downtown of Nablus on the road to Balatah camp.
