NAZARETH (PIC)– Israeli military sources affirmed on Sunday that the IOF troops were given the green light from the political echelon to continue bombarding Palestinian citizens in Gaza Strip.
According to the sources the IOF troops were given the free hand to assassinate Palestinian political figures and resistance leaders and fighters in order to stop Palestinian homemade missiles unleashed on Israeli settlements adjacent to Gaza Strip.
But the Palestinians insisted that their shelling of Israeli settlements was in retaliation to the relentless IOF troops’ crimes against the unarmed Palestinian citizens in Gaza Strip and the West Bank on daily basis.
The Hebrew radio quoted the sources as affirming that the IOF troops will do their best to foil attempts of Palestinian fighters to shell Israeli settlements and that the occupation army will target Palestinians approaching the barrier separating the Strip from the 1948-occupied Palestinian lands.
Over the past few years the Israeli occupation government failed to deter locally-manufactured Palestinian rockets in spite of the efforts money and technology spent in this regard.
Despite killing scores of Palestinian citizens wounding tens of them and arresting hundreds others the IOF claimed they were adhering to the truce.
At dawn Saturday Palestinian resistance fighter from the DFLP armed wing was martyred when Israeli Apache choppers fired four missiles at a group of Palestinian fighters blocking IOF troops sneaking into the northern part of the tiny Strip.
In the West Bank city of Nablus large numbers of IOF troops stormed the northern part of the city at first hours of Sunday morning and wreaked havoc in Palestinian homes there.
The IOF troops also searched and scrutinized IDs of Palestinian commuters leaving and entering the city but no arrests were reported.
Southward in Al-Khalil and Ramallah cities three Palestinian youths were rounded up at the hands of IOF troops in the two cities alleging they were resistance activists. The three were later led to an undisclosed place.
Palestinian student Mohammed Durar 20 was also apprehended at a makeshift IOF barrier south of Jenin city while returning home from the university. No information on the whereabouts of the student was revealed.
Five other Palestinians were kidnapped at the hands of IOF troops on Sunday: two in Bethlehem and three in a Ramallah district village including a local council member.
