IMEMC – A number of Israeli military vehicles invaded the northern West Bank city of Tulkarem and the nearby refugee camps on Tuesday afternoon.

Local youth began throwing stones at the jeeps and armored vehicles, and soldiers responded with tear gas and live ammunition. No injuries were reported.

According to local sources, at least five Israeli military vehicles were seen in both the city of Tulkarem and in the refugee camps around the town, with the clashes occurring in the eastern part of the city of Tulkarem.

Israeli troops frequently invade Palestinian towns and villages, usually for the purpose of abducting individuals that are ‘wanted’ by the Israeli military.

The occupying military force maintains long lists of Palestinians alleged to have engaged in some anti-occupation activity, although human rights groups have criticized those lists for inaccuracy and targeting of non-violent activists. The main sources of the names are from paid Palestinian informants.

Tears of Gaza

Documentary of Israel's "Cast Lead" assault on Gaza of Dec. 27, 2008 to Jan. 18, 2009. During this time Israeli forces killed approximately 1,400 Palestinians and Palestinians killed 9 Israelis (four more died in friendly fire). While most American reports claimed that Hamas initiated the violence, in reality Israel was the first to break the ceasefire. CNN was the only major US broadcaster to report this correctly when Rick Sanchez investigated the chronology and reported that CNN had erred in its earlier coverage.
