Israeli troops entered the Palestinian town of Jenin and its devastated refugee camp early today in an operation aimed at finding militants who had eluded capture during last month's siege, army officials said.

"Israeli troops entered the Palestinian town of Jenin and its devastated refugee camp early today in an operation aimed at finding militants who had eluded capture during last month's siege, army officials said.
Witnesses reported exchanges of fire between the Israelis and Palestinian gunmen as troops approached Jenin at 3.30 am (00.30 GMT)."

"Soldiers surrounded the home of the local leader of the militant Islamic group Hamas, Jamal Abu Alhija, and ordered his family to leave the building. The local Hamas leader was not at home. His family said they did not know where he was"

So the Israëlian army burned down that house.... (you can find the report at the site of 'De Standaard' [http://www.standaard.be])
The house of civilians! How can this be excused?!

Hoe wordt verwacht dat Arafat en de Palestijnen de Palestijnse Authoriteit hervormen en verkiezingen voorbereiden/houden als Israëlische troepen op Palestijns gebied blijven en de steden en vluchtelingenkampen elk moment opnieuw kunnen binnenvallen en als de Palestijnen die zich verkiesbaar stellen niet de minste garantie hebben dat ze niet door Israëlische troepen zullen geëlimineerd of gevangen genomen worden?

At least no second Jeninocide this time
