Zionist forces invaded Nablus & Rafah, and seized 25 citizens

21 February, 2008

Zionist forces on Thursday morning apprehended 23 Palestinians from different West Bank districts, claiming they were 'wanted members.'

Eyewitnesses in Nablus said that Zionist forces raided the northern West bank town of Beita south of Nablus, imposing a curfew and ransacking several homes before arresting 18 Palestinians.

Fierce clashes erupted between Palestinian citizens and the invading Zionist forces who fired gunshots, sonic bombs and tear gas canisters injuring 17-year-old Hussain Sabri. He was shot in the shoulder and was taken to hospital.

Zionist media sources said the army arrested 23 Palestinians in the West Bank overnight.

Two days ago, gunmen opened fire on an Zionist bus at the main crossroads near Beita. Fatah's Al-Aqsa Brigades claimed responsibility for the attack.

Incursion in Rafah

Several Zionist military vehicles conducted a limited incursion in the Al-Shouka area in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip amidst heavy gunfire and artillery shelling on Thursday. No casualties have been reported.

Eyewitnesses said that Palestinian resistance groups confronted the invading forces, firing several mortar shells.

Meanwhile, Zionist forces stationed near the Yasser Arafat International airport in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip opened fire on the nearby Ash-Shouka school on Thursday morning.

Eyewitnesses said that all students and faculty were detained in the school yard.

Separately, the military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), the National resistance Brigades, and Fatah's Al-Aqsa Brigades claimed responsibility for launching two rocket-propelled grenades at two Zionist military jeeps in Al-Maghazi refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip.

They said the shelling came in retaliation for the ongoing Zionist aggression against the Palestinian people.
