Israel launches sweeps in Jenin
The Israeli army poured into the West Bank city of Jenin on Monday, sparking firefights with Palestinians. Witnesses said as many as 70 armoured vehicles took part in the raid on the town and the nearby refugee camp.  Elsewhere, three Palestinians were reported to have been killed by Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army said two of them were militants, shot near Jebaliya refugee camp as they crawled towards the Gaza security fence carrying explosives. The third man killed, according to Palestinian medics and security sources, was a civilian, aged 55-66, who was shot by the gate of a school in Khan Yunis refugee camp. Note the absence of 'sneer' marks when describing a move by the IDF - They poured in - how many battallions poured in? An entire division? Note they fail to mention personal details of the militants shot - choosing to highlight instead the death of an older gent by a school. Mmmm... more hyperbole from Aunty.
