| Woman and two children killed by IDF tank fire |
| 2002-05-05 |
| A Palestinian woman and her two children were killed Sunday when an IDF tank opened fire near the West Bank town of Jenin after an explosive device detonated near the tank. One soldier was lightly injured and received treatment in the field. The soldiers saw suspicious figures in a nearby grove and fired on them, killing the woman and her two children, the military said. The IDF expressed its "deep sorrow" over the incident and said it regretted the loss of civilian life. Something the PA never does... A 9-year-old Palestinian boy was also killed, when IDF troops opened fire on the refugee camp in the West Bank town of Tulkarem, according to Dr. Abu Shaker, director of the local hospital. The boy, Tamer Abu Sarrieh, was shot twice in the chest. Another 9-year-old was lightly injured. We'll be hearing about them for years. |
