Sunday 4-May-2008

KHAN YOUNIS (PIC)– The IOF troops have withdrawn at noon Sunday from the Khuza’a town east of Khan Younis after an incursion that lasted for ten hours during which they shot dead a Palestinian citizen wounded five others and destroyed three houses two poultry farms and 100 dunums of agricultural lands.

During the Israeli rampage in the town Israeli snipers shot dead in cold blood a Palestinian citizen called Hossam Al-Najjar as he was feeding chicken on the roof of his house while his brother was injured when he tried to rescue him.

Sources in the Khuza’a municipality told the PIC reporter that the Israeli military bulldozers demolished the house of a Palestinian citizen called Azmi Qudeih before he was kidnapped along with another citizen partially destroyed two houses and uprooted 100 dunums of agricultural lands planted with olive and palm trees.

In the West Bank Israeli military vehicles stormed at dawn Sunday the Fahma town south of Jenin during which they broke into and ransacked a number of houses and kidnapped two 14-year-old children at the pretext that they were throwing stones at them.

In another context Kanaan Obeid the deputy head of the energy authority stated that the IOA started Sunday morning to allow in fuel supplies for the Gaza power station few hours after it announced that it would shut down most of its generators.

Obeid had warned that there would be an 80 percent deficit in Gaza electricity after the shutdown of the station’s generators which would lead to a humanitarian catastrophe affecting all aspects of life in the Strip.
