Palestinian fighters survive assassination attempt

December 5, 2006

Beit Hanun - In the most serious IOF breach of the calm up to date, IOF troops fired a land-to-land missile at a group of Palestinian resistance fighters in Beit Hanun, north of the Gaza Strip, on Tuesday but failed to liquidate them as they escaped moments before the missile blasted their position.

Eyewitnesses said that the missile was fired from one of the IOF bases in the green line (Palestinian lands occupied 1948) at the group of Quds Brigades (Islamic Jihad Movement) fighters at the southern entrance of Beit Hanun city.

The fighters quickly evacuated the scene and none of them was injured, the locals reported.The IOF missile firing is the most serious violation of the ceasefire agreement between Palestinian resistance factions and Israel that went into effect ten days ago.

IOF sources claimed that the missile was fired at a group of fighters who were planning to fire homemade rockets at Israeli settlers adjacent to the Strip.

Meanwhile, in Ramallah the IOF troops encircled a building north of the city and searched its six floors in the hope of catching a resistance activist but could not find him and the operation ended in 35 minutes without arresting anyone.

Locals said that the soldiers fired sonic and gas bombs during the raid, which injured the Arabia TV network's cameraman Haithem Al-Omari in his feet as a result of the explosion of the one of the sonic bombs.
