NABLUS, (PIC)--

Israeli occupation forces (IOF) raided the Ein Beit Al-Ma refugee camp in Nablus at dawn Sunday and broke into many civilian homes after declaring they found a bomb-laden bag near the Hawara roadblock east of the city.

Local sources said that no kidnappings were made in the refugee camp as the IOF command said that the road barrier was opened after the bag was blasted by army sappers.

The IOF troops kidnapped up three Palestinians at another roadblock near Al-Khalil after intercepting a Palestinian taxicab in which, they claim, weapons were found. They said that the kidnapped were a man and two women.

Another Palestinian was kidnapped in Qabatia village, Jenin district, shortly after midnight Saturday and kidnapped a young man after thoroughly searching his house for weapons but none were found. The young man was accused of affiliation with the Islamic Jihad Movement.

The IOF also raided two villages in Tulkarm district and closed the road linking them, thus depriving farmers from heading to harvest their olive crops.

Palestinian trade union sources said that the IOF soldiers detained 300 Palestinian workers over the past month of September including 25 females for working in 1948 occupied lands without permits.

In Jenin, Ali Abu Ermaila, 40, was pronounced dead after 40 days of suffering from serious IOF bullet wounds.

IOF special forces (death squads) assassinated two Islamic Jihad activists in Jenin city 40 days ago and the IOF soldiers' indiscriminate firing in the street critically wounded Abu Ermaila, who was transferred to an Israeli hospital until his death was proclaimed on Sunday morning.

In the Gaza Strip, IOF units advanced into eastern Gaza city in three tanks and three bulldozes that devastated vast cultivated land lots and civilian property while firing intermittently on Palestinian citizens.

The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas Movement, said it repelled an IOF foot patrol east of Khan Younis after firing 15 mortar shells at the soldiers on Saturday afternoon.

The Qassam fighters also fired four RPGs at an IOF tank and bulldozers near the Karni crossing east of Gaza and unleashed 9 mortar shells at a gathering for IOF armored vehicles at Karni crossing.

Two other armed groups declared responsibility for firing a missile at Israeli targets east of Gaza and two rockets at the Sderot settlement in the western Negev. They said the attacks were in retaliation to IOF crimes.
