Israeli Forces Attack Palestinian Health Facilities in Nablus
Saturday, September 07 2002 @ 02:39 PM GMT
HEBRON - Israeli occupation forces have taken control of the Palestinian health department in Nablus, the largest town in the West Bank.
Palestinian health officials said on Saturday Israeli troops blew up the doors of the health department building and opened fire on health personnel.
According to Munzer al Sharif, the Palestinian deputy-minister of health, Israeli occupation soldiers detonated explosive charges at the building housing the department, causing extensive damage.
Al Sharif also accused the Israeli troops of preventing ambulances from moving within Nablus and in some case seizing ambulances for up to 10 hours without any reason.
Nablus has been under a strict curfew for the past 88 days and inhabitants are forced to remain indoors virtually round-the-clock.
In several instances, when some inhabitants sought to leave their homes to buy food or medicine, they were shot dead by Israeli snipers posted on rooftops.
On Friday, Zionist Prime Minister Ariel Sharon said Israeli troops would remain in the West Bank for the foreseeable future.
He said Israel was no longer bound by all the agreements, including the Oslo accords, which the Zionist regime had signed with the Palestinian Authority. (irna)
