against our people"

NABLUS,
West Bank, November 19 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) - Israeli
occupation troops shot dead five Palestinians, including a teenager
and a member of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, in a raid on the West Bank
town of Tulkarem late Tuesday, November 19, Palestinian officials
said.
Tulkarem
governor Ezzedin al-Sharif said Zyad Hashaki, 50, was hit in a car by
automatic weapons fire from an Israeli tank, Agence Ffance-Presse
(AFP) reported.
Later,
other officials said a man identified as Ahmed Jayoussi, 37, was
killed by Israeli gunfire on his car, and indications were that the
two men were in the same vehicle.
Eleven
other Palestinians were wounded in the raid, Sharif said.
Palestinian
security sources said earlier that a special unit of Israeli soldiers
disguised as Palestinians killed 25-year-old fighter Tareq Mohammed
Zaghal in his home.
Al-Aqsa,
an offshoot of Fatah group, on Tuesday claimed responsibility for an
ambush the day before in which a Jewish settler woman was killed near
Ramallah in the West Bank.
Israeli
forces also shot and fatally wounded Ihab Zakli, 15, the security
sources said.
The
director of Tulkarem hospital, Ahmed Abu Bakr, said the identity of
the fifth Palestinian killed on Tuesday was not yet known.
Palestinian
chief negotiator Saeb Erakat condemned "this new crime" and
urged the international community "to stop the escalation and
aggression against our people."
The
Israeli army made no immediate comment on the incidents.
The
latest deaths bring to 2,694 the number of people killed in the more
than two-year-old Palestinian Intifada against Israeli occupation,
including 1,985 Palestinians and 660 Israelis.
