Israel army destroys Palestinian house in Gaza
Xinhua - 30 March 2004
GAZA, March 30-- The Israel army demolished on Tuesday morning a
Palestinian house during a military operation in the southern Gaza
Strip city of Rafah, Palestinian security sources reported.
They said an Israeli force backed by a number of machineries broke
into Al-Salam neighborhood, near the borderline with Egypt, and
demolished the house owned by Awad al-Shaer, in addition to razing
vast areas of agricultural lands.
The residents added the two-story building was the target of the
Israel army one year ago, but it failed to destroy it because of the
efforts of US peace activist Rachel Corrie.
Corrie confronted an Israeli bulldozer that was on its way to
destroy the house and was crushed to death, but she succeeded in
stopping the demolition.
Meanwhile, the Israel army raided early on Tuesday the northern West
Bank town of Toubas and imposed tight curfew on it before carrying
out house-to-house searching campaigns.
Palestinian sources said the Israeli forces have intensified their
deployment near Nablus city, north of the West Bank, claiming that
the deployment is aimed at averting possible attacks against Israeli
targets.
They added the Israel army arrested overnight five Palestinians
during military raids in the West Bank cities of Jenin and Ramallah.
