The News Cast

On Wednesday at dawn four Palestinians suffered minor injuries after the Israeli army fired artillery shells at open areas in the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

Medical sources said that all four injured sustained light wounds after they had been hit by fragments of shells. Eyewitnesses reported that the army fired several shells at different areas in northern Gaza.

Also in Gaza the Al Aqsa brigades, the armed wing of Fateh movement, reported that two of its fighters were wounded on Wednesday at dawn during clashes with Israeli forces near the Al Hawouz area, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip. The brigades added that the two injured fighters were moved to a local hospital.

It stated that its fighters clashed with Israeli forces operating in northern Gaza, and added that the fighters will counter all Israeli assaults and will retaliate to “the ongoing Israeli crimes in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip”.

The brigades also claimed responsibility for firing thee RPG shells, on Tuesday evening, at a number of Israeli tanks located near the Gaza border.

A group of Israeli settlers attacked on Wednesday afternoon a Palestinian driver near the northern West Bank city of Nablus.

Witnesses said that settlers from the nearby Yitshar settlement stopped the truck driver then beat him up. They added that the driver escaped with cuts and bruises. Extremist Israeli settlers carried out a series of violent attacks against Palestinians residents and orchards near Nablus this week.

On Monday at dawn, six Palestinians were wounded by settlers's fire, one of the wounded suffered serious injuries. The settlers also burnt acres of farmlands planted with wheat, barley and olive trees. The settlers carried out their attacks after the Israeli army evacuated an illegal outpost that was installed near a large settlement in the Nablus district.

On Wednesday also near Nablus the Israeli military announced that all military checkpoints around the city will be closed military zones and only humanitarian cases will be allowed to cross. On Tuesday one soldier was moderately wounded after he was stabbed by a Palestinian youth at the Huwwara roadblock, near the city of Nablus.
