Israeli troops raid camp

Jerusalem Nov. 12. Israeli tanks and troops swept into a Palestinian refugee camp in the West Bank city of Tulkarem today as part of the military response to an attack by a Palestinian gunman in which five people, including a mother and her two children, were killed over the weekend. Reports from Tulkarem quoted Palestinian sources and eyewitnesses as saying that about 30 tanks, armoured troop carriers and jeeps entered this West Bank town and an adjacent refugee camp today.

The troops demolished the home of a local Palestinian militia leader and arrested three wanted men. The soldiers searched the area for Al Aqsa fugitives.
