Bulldozers invaded Jenin in the early hours of Saturday



Israeli occupation troops have killed a Palestinian resistance leader by burying him alive during a raid on the West Bank town of Jenin.


According to Aljazeera's correspondent in the area, troops in more than 20 military vehicles invaded the town in the early hours of Saturday, imposing a curfew and storming some Palestinian homes.

The troops then surrounded a four-storey residential building in which Thair Abu al-Kamil - reported to be a deputy leader within al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - was staying, reports Ali al-Sumudi.

An exchange of gunfire was heard between al-Kamil and the troops before bulldozers arrived and demolished the building.

Al-Kamil was trapped inside and buried alive. It took more than an hour for his body to be retrieved.

The resistance leader has been on Israel's most wanted list for more than two years.

Residents of the town have staged a demonstration in protest at the killing. Israeli troops killed and demolished the home of al-Kamil's brother a month ago in the Jenin refugee camp.
