Scores of Israeli settlers, soldiers, killed in guerilla attack near Nablus
Occupied Jerusalem: 12 December, 2001 (IAP News)
As many as 10 Israeli soldiers and settlers were killed and over thirty
others injured, some badly, when Palestinian guerillas attacked a bus
carrying soldiers and settlers near the northern West Bank town of Nablus.
Eyewitnesses said a powerful road-side charge was detonated, apparently by
Palestinian guerillas, as an armored army bus was passing near the
settlement of Emanuel near Nablus.
Early reports spoke of at least 8 soldiers and settlers killed and as many
as thirty others wounded.
The Israeli state-run radio said Palestinian guerillas opened fire on
Israeli troops which arrived at the scene, causing more casualties among
the Zionists.
A Palestinian guerilla was either killed or injured in the attack which
comes as a retaliation for the killing of three at least 10 Palestinian
civilians, including a baby and three children, by the Israeli army.
The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of Fatah, claimed
responsibility for the operation.
In the Gaza Strip two Palestinian guerillas blew themselves up outside a
motel frequented by soldiers at the Jewish settlement of Gush Katif.
Israeli sources said five Israelis were wounded.
The report has not been confirmed by independent sources.
The extremist government of Ariel Sharon has utterly rejected a truce offer
by the major Palestinian resistance groups, including Hamas, whereby
Israeli would stop bombarding Palestinian population centers in return for
a moratorium on Palestinian bombings inside the Jewish state.
Since the beginning of the Palestinian uprising against Israeli occupation
and apartheid, the Israeli army and paramilitary Jewish terrorists killed
over 850 Palestinians, a third of them children and minors.
Nearly 210 Israelis, many of them soldiers and settlers, died in the same
period in Palestinian resistance attacks.
