Israeli Forces Storm Qalqilia

Posted on Thursday, August 30 at 09:07 by Diogenes
Ma'an's correspondent reported that the Israeli forces were re- enforced with military vehicles and bulldozers. Journalists were banned from approaching the area. He added frequent gunfire could be heard in the area and that the Israeli forces are besieging many houses. Eyewitnesses said that the Israeli forces have detained many people and they are now interrogating them in a building in the city. The Israeli military forced them to leave their homes and seized their mobile telephones. Other witnesses said that the Israeli forces had begun to demolish some houses in the area, including that of the Palestinian National Council member, Taysir Qubba'ah. Israeli forces later withdrew from Qalqilia after the incursion lasting 15 hours. They left behind five houses in differing states of demolition and over 30 injuries, one of which considered "serious". http://www.maannews.net/en/index.php?opr=ShowDetails&ID=25024
