Palestine-Israel, Military, 2/8/2003

Following a bloody day in the Palestinian territories resulted in killing six Palestinians and arresting scores in breaking in operations of the areas of the West Bank and Gaza after which two Israeli soldiers were killed and other two wounded in an operation by the Palestinians, the Israeli forces continued the policy of collective punishment against the Palestinians.

In this regard, the Israeli forces destroyed a building used by the Palestinian security men and two trade centers during a leveling operation in Deir al-Balah in the downtown of Gaza.

Palestinian sources said the Israeli forces backed by tanks and bulldozers destroyed the building of the Palestinian military intelligence in the surrounding of Kfar Daroum settlement in Deir al-Balah.

The Israeli forces also broke into the house of Ayemn Atieh, the official in the Fatah movement in Beit Sahour but failed to arrest him, while the Israeli army chief of staff Moshe Yaloun said that Israel will fight what he called "the Palestinian violence."

Meantime, the local rule official at the Palestinian authority Saeb Oreikat called on the US, the European Union and the UN to work seriously to debate the mechanism for implementation, the timetables and the UN observers in order to implement "the Road Map " immediately.

Oreikat's request was made during his meeting with the American consul in Israel Roland Shleyker and Russia's representative to the Palestinian authority Sergy Paskov.
