Israeli army in Bethlehem

JERUSALEM APRIL 1. Shortly after the Israeli Prime Minister, Ariel Sharon, declared a war on Palestinian ``terrorist infrastructure'', the Israeli forces, backed by tanks, tightened their grip over West Bank today and moved into Bethlehem, even as masked Palestinians shot dead seven persons accused of collaborating with the Israelis.

The Palestinian leader, Yasser Arafat, remained under siege for the fourth consecutive day in his heavily damaged headquarters in Ramallah and the Israeli Defence Minister, Benyamin Ben Eleizer, said ``I am waiting for the army to totally isolate Arafat'' . — PTI
