Sheikh Ajleen – Al-Khalil ( Hebron ) – Tobas

Nine Palestinians Killed & Injured in Gaza

On Wednesday, August 28, Israeli tanks stormed the Sheikh Ajleen neighborhood south of Gaza City shortly after midnight, killing Rueida al-Hajeen, 55, her sons Ashraf, 22, and Nuhad, 17, as well as her nephew, Mohammad, 17. According to an AFP reporter on the scene, Palestinian ambulances rushed to the scene, but were barred by the Israeli army from rescuing the injured. Meanwhile, Ismail Haniya, a senior Hamas leader vowed bloody retaliation for the killing. "Our response will be a new escalation in our resistance," he told AFP. Another resistance group, Islamic Jihad, also expressed its ire, and both groups called on their Palestinian Authority to stop all its contacts with Israel. Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, for his part, charged that the raid was a move by Israel to "destroy peace efforts by the Quartet and the Arab initiative in Beirut."
