Report from Bethlehem from the Israeli IMC 23.10.2001, 15:22

A short text from the IMC i Israel containing information on the upcoming
Israeli terror attacks on palestinian civilists

Dear Everybody,

Until this moment of writing this report, I can hear the sound of the
bullets in the background. This has become a "NORMAL" thing to hear since
four days.

While the world is busy watching the "War against Terror" Israel is waging
a war against civilians in Palestine in one of its cruelest attacks
against Bethlehem Area and other areas in Palestine. I am sorry that I can
not report to you about the situation in other areas, because I do not
have enough information, but, I will try at least to let you know what is
happening in Bethlehem area.

The Israeli tanks entered Bethlehem two days ago. The tanks are destroying
cars and property of people and shooting its bullets killing and injuring
people randomly. This is called terror, but, it looks like this is a legal
terror, because it is not included with the list of the Targets that the
USA defined as terror that should be eliminated.

The Palestinians tried to resist and send the Israeli troops and tanks
away, but they are still there, some sources are talking about destroying
two tanks, and killing two Israeli soldiers and injuring others, however,
Israel did not confirm the news.

So far, 15 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli Occupation within
the past four days. I have to mention an important fact is that Bethlehem
area was quite for more than a week since declaring the cease fire.
However, things started again after Three were assassinated in Beit Sahour
with a car-bomb (Atef, Jamal And Issa Obayyat). Prior to that, Ahmad
Obayyat, from the same area was stepped to death by some civilian Jews in
Jerusalem as he was working in a hotel.

Then the Israeli soldiers started to move in Bethlehem which made people
to resist them. While resisting, Abdul Kader Abu Srour from Aida refugees
camp was killed. However, Maryam Sabayheh was not doing anything when she
was shot to death by the Israeli soldiers.

The Soldiers continued their way towards Bethlehem destroying property of
the people. Shooting randomly at the houses of the people. Mousa George
Abu Eid was inside his house when he got a bullet that left him dead.
Later Yousif Obayyat 15 years old, whose uncle was killed one day before,
was very angry and he ran into the military checkpost that was set up
recently in Bethlehem and stabbed one Israeli soldier but did not kill
him, however, the soldiers shot the kid and killed him. Aysheh Odeh from
Deheishe refugee Camp was also killed by an Israeli bullet while being
outside of her home without any reason to be shot.

Yesterday, Rania Kharoufeh, from Beit Jala, went out to buy some things
and milk to her two kids, came back home in a coffin, because she was shot
in her neck by an Israeli sniper. Shortly after that, Johny Thalgieh, 19
years old, was also shot dead in Bethlehem while being in the Nativity
Square.

Today, Mohammad Barqa'a from Bethlehem was killed while standing outside
of his house he was shot in the neck, and died later in the hospital, the
man is deaf and he is a father of five kids. Officer Nahed Al-juju was
resisting the tanks when he was shot dead by an Israeli bullet. Not a long
time later, the tanks that all the others could not stop, fired a shell on
the Beit Jala hospital killing Issa Fouzi Hlayiel and injuring a doctor
there. The hospital is always calling people to donate blood from all the
different blood types. It is a serious situation here in Bethlehem area.
Well, not only Bethlehem area, but this is what we see along the day.

By this, SO FAR, 12 funerals were made today, and there will be three
tomorrow. There is nothing on the local TV stations but the funerals and
the Israeli tanks and pictures from the hospital of the Martyrs and blood
and people crying and screaming. What would our kids be when are raised to
see these pictures and live this situation? we ask you all to act to put
an end to this terrorism. I should not forget also the UN and the Red
Crescent Ambulances that were shoot and 2 of the team were injured.
