Israeli tanks roll into Palestinian refugee camp (Agencies) Updated: 2004-03-24 08:51 Israeli tanks rolled into the
Palestinian refugee camp of Khan Younis in the Gaza Strip early on Wednesday and
bulldozers began demolishing houses overlooking a Jewish settlement, witnesses
said.
Some 60 families living in the row of dilapidated structures fled as Israeli
forces laid down covering fire. There were no immediate reports of return fire
from Palestinian gunmen, or casualties.
Security forces have been on high alert in Israel's cities for the painful
payback Hamas has promised in retaliations for the Israeli assassination of its
founder and spiritual leader Ahmed Yassin.
About 10 Israeli tanks moved to the edge of Khan Younis in the early hours of
Wednesday, taking up what witnesses initially described as holding
positions.
