| Zionist terrorist forces stormed the city of Tulkarm in a pre-dawn raid today, ransacking civilian houses and arresting ten Palestinians including five brothers. The troops focused on the eastern suburb where they arrested the five brothers Khairi Mahmoud Salama, an Aqsa Martyrs Brigades activist and his brothers Basel, Ahmed, Yousef and Mohammed, all in their twenties. In the same suburb the occupation soldiers arrested Assad Abu Shanab, 28, and father of the martyr Saleh Nassar who is 55 years old. In Al-Salam suburb, the invasion troops captured Samer Zuhdi Lifdawi, 28, and his two brothers Saher, 25, and Ahmed, 20. Meanwhile, resistance fighters engaged the occupation soldiers to the east of the nearby Tulkarm refugee camp. Witnesses reported that a number of explosive devices were blasted in the advancing Zionist armored vehicles and a violent exchange of gunfire ensued but no casualties were reported. In Bethlehem, Palestinian youths reportedly hurled Molotov cocktails at a convoy of Jewish settlers on the bypass road near Housan village. Zionist sources said that the attack inflicted material damage to the vehicles. A firebomb was also tossed on a Zionist bus to the south of Bethlehem city, Zionist sources said, adding that army units combed the area in search of the attackers but apparently they fled unharmed. |
