LATEST NEWS FROM PALESTINE  A Palestinian worker inspects the damage after Israeli tanks rolled into a Palestinian-ruled part of the Gaza Strip and flattened a series of one-story structures housing 80 administrative offices used for a seaport construction project, September 18, 2001. The project south of Gaza City is funded by the French and Dutch governments, international lending institutions and the Palestinian Authority. Israeli occupation army kills more Palestinians despite cease-fire Occupied Jerusalem: 18 September, 2001 (IAP News)- Israeli occupation troops on Tuesday killed two more Palestinian civilians despite a unilateral cease-fire declared two days ago by Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat. Palestinian sources reported that Israeli occupation soldiers manning a roadblock outside Nablus, in the West Bank, killed a Palestinian farmer who was driving his tractor at the village of Bazarya. Eyewitnesses said the Zionists killed the man as he was driving to his farm. "They just shot him and asked no questions, this is an act of murder." An Israeli occupation spokesman said the farmer, identified as Mua'ataz Daghlas, 25, was shot after he failed to heed orders to stop. Another Palestinian was also seriously injured in the incident. In al-Khalil, Israeli troops stationed on strategic rooftops strafed city center with machinegun fire, killing 30-year-old Ismael al-Dawada, of the nearby town of Halhul. Al-Dawada, a taxi driver, was apparently killed while sitting inside his yellow cab. In addition, four more Palestinians were injured, one of them a woman who lost one of her two eyes. The apartheid Israeli regime has stepped up its repression of Palestinians since the 11 September suicide plane-attacks in the United States, taking advantage of the world's preoccupation with the tragic events. At least 25 Palestinians have been killed and a hundred injured by Israeli occupation gunfire since 11 September. Most of the victims were civilians, including children.

Interesting quote Of the day

"These attacks are not something that Palestinians can celebrate. On the contrary, most Palestinians had a powerful and spontaneous reaction of disgust at the bombings and empathy with the people who suffered from the attacks. They know exactly what it feels like to be a civilian population under attack." - Sept 18th Andrew Clarno, an American in Gaza)
