From: "Stasi" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Peoples War] Palestine: 4 Children Die as Shell Explodes In Gaza Strip - Ananova Ananova : Four children die as shell explodes in Gaza Strip ================================ Four children died in the southern Gaza Strip when a tank shell exploded. The children were apparently all members of the same family and a fifth child was wounded. They on their way to the UN-run elementary school in the Khan Younis refugee camp when the shell exploded. Witness Abdel Halim Abu Samra says the blast was so powerful that it tore apart the children's bodies. "Body parts were scattered over the area, completely burned," Abu Samra said. He said he retrieved some shrapnel from the scene, including one with English lettering. Abu Ola, the Palestinian security commander, says it appears the children picked up an unexploded Israeli shell, setting off the explosion. He initially had charged that an Israeli tank had fired a shell into the elementary school. The Israeli military denied that troops fired in the area on Thursday morning. In the West Bank, meanwhile, Israeli forces raided Azzarieh, a Palestinian suburb of Jerusalem, and shut down three offices of the Palestinian Authority. The offices belonged to three different Palestinian security services. The military said the offices were shut down to "prevent terrorist activity," but did not explain further. In another raid, Israeli forces entered the village of Bir Zeit, just north of the West Bank town of Ramallah, and arrested several supporters of Islamic militant groups, Palestinian intelligence officials say.
