Haaretz: The bulldozer attack reflects the anger level among Jerusalemites
[ 07/03/2009 - 03:39 PM ]
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli Haaretz newspaper said that the bulldozer attack carried out by a Palestinian citizen called Marei Radaydeh in occupied Jerusalem reflected that the level of tension and anger among the Palestinians in East Jerusalem and the West Bank is on the rise as a result of the demolition policy pursued by Israel.
The newspaper added that mayor of occupied Jerusalem Nir Barakat decided, in light of the already tense atmosphere, to pour oil on the fire by declaring plans to demolish 88 Palestinian homes in the Bustan neighborhood adjacent to the Silwan village.
It noted that the Jerusalem municipality itself seems to realize that the demolition of Palestinian houses is an extremist step, so it offered alternative lands to the Palestinians whose homes are threatened with demolition.
The newspaper stressed that there are political reasons under the pretext of law behind the demolition orders, noting that Israel refrains from demolishing illegal construction in random settlement outposts.
IOF troops wound Palestinian teen
In another context, a 17-year old young man called Munir Al-Bestami was wounded when IOF troops shot him during his presence along with his companions in the area of northern mountain in Nablus, which is classified as an Israeli military zone.
Medical sources said that the young man was injured badly in the leg and was taken to the Refidia hospital to receive treatment.
The IOF troops had imposed Friday a tight cordon on different West Bank areas and stormed a number of towns south of Nablus including the villages of Tilfit and Qaryut.
