 Ma'an Israeli forces raided Jenin refugee camp in the northern West Bank on Thursday evening, besieging a coffee shop before seizing 12 Palestinians including an activist from the Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad movement along with his brother.Undercover Israeli forces ransacked the coffee shop and arrested Islamic Jihad twenty-three-year-old activist Abdur-Rahman Barghish and his brother Aziz, along with 10 others. Eyewitnesses were quoted as saying that the undercover Israeli forces were in a civilian car and that clashes erupted between Palestinian combatants and the invading Israeli forces. An Islamic Jihad activist, who was in the same coffee shop told Ma'an that he was sitting with four other activists when a car suddenly stopped in front of the coffee shop. He added that they immediately realized the car had undercover forces in it and the activists fled, firing at the Israeli force. Israeli sources confirmed that soldiers had besieged a group of Islamic Jihad men in a coffee shop in Jenin and fired at them. Posted by: Fred 2007-12-15 |
