AP (with additional material by Reuters and Ha'aretz). 9 April 2002. Sharon Says Israel's Military Offensive Will Continue. JERUSALEM -- Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Tuesday that Israel's military offensive in the West Bank would continue until Palestinian militias have been crushed. "It was a tough campaign, a campaign that we are continuing," Sharon said in remarks broadcast on Israel Television. Israel launched a fresh incursion overnight in Dura near the city of Hebron and Palestinian sources said about 70 people had been detained. Witnesses said troops had also entered the village of Kafr Ra'i near Jenin and shelled a police station. Even Tulkarm and Qalqilya were kept cut off from the outside world after Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers left under cover of darkness. The Israeli Defense Ministry said a blockade around the two cities would be tightened. Meanwhile, a woman from Haifa was injured Tuesday afternoon after she was shot in the hand when a group of left-wing demonstrators who were protesting on the outskirts of Jenin came under fire from an Israeli citizen disguised as a soldier. The group of protesters were heading for the IDF checkpoint at Jalameh, to protest the IDF's occupation of the city, when the shooting began. Hundreds of activists, including Arab MKs had been making their way to Jenin since early Tuesday morning, bringing humanitarian aid, including food, clothing and medication, to be distributed amongst the refugee camps in the Jenin area. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
