Israeli troops kill 15 year-old boy in Gaza and invade Nablus again
January 23, 2004

Israeli troops shot and killed a 15 year-old boy while he was collecting
firewood on the Gaza Strip yesterday.

Mohsen Aldaur from Jebalia in Gaza City went with five friends to collect
wood for heating in an area east of the city. They were gathering wood when
they were fired on with live ammunition by Israeli troops.

Doctors in Gaza said that Mohsen had been killed by bullets all over his
body. Two of Mohsen's friends were also shot and injured. The troops
transferred them to a hospital in Israel. The other friends managed to
escape unhurt. The soldiers claimed the boys had been attempting to break
into Israel.

Arrests and demolition in Nablus

Israeli occupying forces made a large number of arrests and began
demolishing an apartment building during another invasion of Nablus
yesterday morning.

At about 6 a.m., Israeli troops attacked the area around Abu Obayda street
in the western part of the city. The troops, firing live ammunition, rubber
bullets and sound bombs, began house-to-house searches and arrested a large
number of Palestinians.

The soldiers then surrounded a three-storey apartment building with armored
vehicles. Hadija Assaruyan (53), who lives in a neighboring building, told
Palestine Monitor that she had been woken by the Israeli troops firing on
the apartments and using loudspeakers to call on those inside to surrender.
Bulldozers then began to demolish the building for sheltering militants.
Hadija said she had seen no-one arrested from the building.
