GAZA
CITY, September 12 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Israeli tanks
rolled into the eastern side of Gaza City early Thursday, September
12, causing clashes to erupt between Israeli occupation troops and
Palestinian gunmen. Israeli forces also demolished the home of a
Palestinian activist in the neighborhood of Ishi Jayia on the
outskirts of Gaza City overnight Wednesday, September 11.
Palestinian
security sources and witnesses told Agence France-Presse (AFP) that
the shooting occurred as the tanks moved more than 600 meters (yards)
into the Ishi Jayia and al-Muntara districts, which lie in the
city’s eastern half.
There
were no reports of injuries in the clashes.
At
Ishi Jayia, the army blew up the home of a Hamas activist, witnesses
said. Six other houses were damaged in the explosion although there
were no reports of injuries.
Four
tanks and an Israeli bulldozer also staged a brief incursion into the
al-Mughazi refugee camp, south of the city, where they demolished two
houses, Palestinian security sources said.
After
destroying the houses, the occupation troops pulled out.
An
Israeli army spokeswoman confirmed that troops were operating both in
the east of Gaza City and in the al-Mughazi refugee camp, but said she
could not release further details until the operation ended.
Palestinian
security officials said that tanks and bulldozers also moved around
500 meters (yards) into Rafah town on the southern border with Egypt,
where they destroyed three houses. There were no exchanges of fire
the, they said.
Palestinians
said Thursday that one man was injured after tanks entered the Gaza
Strip overnight Wednesday firing at several targets. The tanks left
the Gaza Strip after they completed their operation, according to
Israeli daily Ha'aretz.
Meanwhile,
two mortars were fired at a settlement in the Gaza Strip overnight
Wednesday without causing any injuries, Ha'aretz said.
On
Thursday, a bomb detonated next to an Israeli force near the West bank
town of Bir Zeit without causing any injuries, the paper said, adding
that 114 Palestinians, were caught by border policemen and were to be
expelled back to the Palestinian territories.
