The situation in Bethlem churches, especially in the Nativity church is very harsh. Some hour ago we have been able to talk with a civilian held hostage in the church. They have no food, water, electricity and a person is seriously wounded. The civilians lunch an appeal to the Red Cross and to international community for receiving medical assistance.
But the Israeli army, after allowing the Red Cross to send an ambulance to pick bodies, arrested the medical team.
The level of fight is getting higher around Bethlem, Nablus and jenin.
There are already 80 tanks in Nablus and using at least the same number of tanks, the Israelis are trying to force through janin.
In that area, the resistance is very strong and there is furious fighting. Today afternoon Palestinians managed to destroy a tank killing all the soldiers. The Israeli army keep killing civilians end the medics: this afternoon in janin they fired shots against an ambulance, but fortunately they did not kill the medics and paramedics.
