Subject: [Peoples War] Palestine: 2 Killed As Violence Flairs - Ananova

Ananova :

Two Palestinians killed as violence flares
===========================

Two Palestinian policemen have been killed after Israeli tanks firing shells
and machine guns entered Palestinian territory north of Gaza City.

The Israeli military said the incursion came after mortar shells and a
rocket were fired towards the Israeli settlement of Dugit.

The army said troops killed two armed Palestinians heading to the
settlement.

The Palestinian police chief in Gaza, Brig Gen Abdel Razek Majaida, alleged
that the policemen were shot dead by Israeli troops while lying wounded on
the ground. The army had no immediate comment. Palestinian doctors said the
tanks drove over the bodies.

Officials added the incursion began last night when two tanks and an
armoured personnel carrier drove into the coastal neighbourhood of Sudaniyeh
in the town of Beit Lahia. The armoured vehicles fired machine guns and
shells.

Two shells punched holes into the private American International School,
which has American teachers and is attended by Palestinian children.

The United States has demanded that Israel stay out of Palestinian
territory. However, Israel has argued that it has to carry out such raids to
prevent attacks by Palestinian militants.

Last month, Israeli troops seized parts of six Palestinian towns in the West
Bank, in response to the assassination of an Israeli Cabinet minister by
Palestinian militants.

After a gradual pull back, including a withdrawal this weekend from the town
of Tulkarem, troops now remain only in the town of Jenin.
