Update from IMC-Palestine: IDF Bombs School for Girls

by imc-palestine (imc-palestine [at] indymedia.org)
Updates from imc-palestine in Bethlehem about the on-going attacks by Israel the past few days, which have become the deadliest days of this intifada.

These are some late stories and press releases, hope you have the time to read them. Members of the IMC-Palestines access to computers is now strictly limited by a curfew. We can walk the streets where we do not fear being 'sniped'.

When last I spoke with Bilal in Dehaishe 5 tanks were blocking the entrances to the camp, 2 buildings have been taken over and 3 people are dead. There has been almost no return fire from the camp as most of the local gunmen have left taking positions in downtown Bethleham.

In Ayda refugee camp 5 houses have been taken over by the IDF and the families are being held hostage. Aza refugee camp is being hit on and off with tank fire.

Last night 3, what have been reported as, SCUD missiles were shot into Bethlehem from the military outposts around the settlemnt of Gilo. The missiles hit Bethlehem University, the home of Ibrahim Katimi and the St. Josephs School for Girls. All of these locations are within 150 meteres of my home. No deaths, 1 injury.

Today I went to inspect and photograph the damage and hope to have the pictures up soon. We have not slept well in about a week now and
currently Israeli gunships are firing at Dehaishe. We expect them to enter tonight.
