2 children, 3 others killed in W. Bank

By Arnon Regular and Agencies

Five Palestinians, including a 10-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy, were
killed by the IDF in the West Bank yesterday, Palestinian sources said.
Also yesterday, the IDF apprehended a Fatah-Tanzim leader suspected of
involvement in multiple terror attacks.

Four Palestinians, including the 10-year-old girl, were killed by IDF fire
in Bethlehem, Palestinian residents reported. Apparently, the incident
occurred when a special IDF force was trying to assassinate two wanted
terrorists. The force opened fire at the car with the terrorists, but also
killed a passerby, Muwafat Badran, and a girl in the car in front,
Christine Sa'ada.

According to the Palestinians, the force snatched two of the bodies and
disappeared. The child's father, George Sa'ada, and her mother and sister,
have apparently sustained moderate to serious injuries and were taken to
Hadassah Hospital.

In Jenin, a 14-year-old boy was shot dead and a 12-year-old boy was
seriously wounded by fire from an Israeli tank, doctors said. The Israeli
military said they were shot while climbing on an armored vehicle.

Yesterday was the fourth day of the army operation in Jenin, and the IDF
yesterday captured Nidal Narnariya, who is suspected of being involved in
several terror attacks, including last week's shooting on the road between
Mevo Dotan and Shaked, and the deadly attack in Beit She'an at the Likud's
internal elections a few months ago, in which four Israelis were killed.

Narnariya is also said to have been involved in recruiting and distributing
arms to Tanzim members. Sources in Israel's defense establishment said
Narnariya was planning two suicide bombings inside Israel in the next two
days.

In the Balata refugee camp near Nablus, the IDF apprehended Fahed Abu
Khamed, who was apparently planning to carry out a suicide bombing.

In Ramallah, the IDF arrested two Fatah activists who were reportedly
driving a car with fake EU plates.

Curfew in Jenin continued, but no curfew was imposed anywhere else in the
West Bank.

The military court sentenced three Palestinians to consecutive life terms
after convicting them of involvement in fatal attacks against Israelis, the
military said.

In a statement from the military court near the West Bank Jewish settlement
of Beit El, the military said the three were members of an Al-Aqsa Martyrs
Brigades cell in Jenin. The group is affiliated with Fatah, the movement
headed by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat.

The military said the three carried out shooting attacks on West Bank roads
and Jerusalem. The commander of the cell, Mohammed Mazlah, was sentenced to
nine consecutive life terms. Among the incidents in which the military said
he was involved was the attack on two unarmed Israeli reserve soldiers who
lost their way and entered the West Bank Palestinian town of Ramallah in
October, 2000. A mob stormed the police station where they were taken, beat
them to death and threw their bodies out a second-story window.

Another member of the cell received 16 consecutive life terms, and the
third was sentenced to four consecutive life terms and an additional 15
years in prison.

The defense establishment now has knowledge of 60 terror attacks planned
for the near future.
