-Hours following an Israel promise to pull out of most of the recently re-occupied Palestinian territories, the Israeli army re-invaded the West Bank city of Tulkarm in full.

-Israeli forces attacked two refugee camps near Nablus, New Askar and Old Askar. The Israeli army used Apache helicopters to shell both camps, wounding several people, destroying and damaging many homes.

-Two top Hamas leaders Faize Al Tawail and Abu Wardeh were arrested by Israeli troops in the West Bank. Earlier, a top leader of the Palestinian Intifada, Marwan Barghouti was detained. Israel intends to treat Barghuti, the West Bank chief Fatah movement "according to the law," Israeli Foreign Minister Shimon Peres said. Israel tried to assassinate the Barghuti in the past months and failed.

-The Israeli army resumed its psychological warfare against 200 Palestinians holed up in the Church of the Nativity, broadcasting ear-splitting noise and repeated calls to surrender. Sounds of drilling, animal roars and strident shouts were played over a giant loudspeaker facing the church which marks Jesus's birthplace. Earlier, pre-recorded messages calling for the besieged Palestinians to give up were played for half an hour.
