The News Cast

Palestinian medical sources reported on Wednesday morning that the bodies of two women, aged 90 and 62, were located in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, and that three residents died due to wounds sustained during the Israeli offensive.

Dr. Muawiya Hassanen, of the Emergency Department at the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza, reported that Mohammad Saleh Abu Sweirih died at an Egyptian hospital, Imad Abdullah Miqdad died in Khan Younis Hospital, and Mohammad Madi died at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza.

The three residents were seriously injured during the Israeli offensive against the Gaza Strip which started on December 27th, 2008 and ended on Sunday January, 18th 2009. Dr. Hassanen said that the number of Palestinians killed during the offensive is more than 1,420 and more than 5,450 were injured, hundreds critically.

Palestinian sources reported that Israeli navel boats opened fire on Wednesday at areas in the Gaza Strip. The sources said that the shells landed in open areas and did not cause any damage or injuries. Meanwhile the Israeli Army announced on Wednesday that all of its tanks and ground troops have left the Palestinian costal region.

A Palestinian woman was injured on Wednesday by fire from Israeli troops in the village of Shoykh Al Arob village near the southern West Bank city of Hebron. Medical sources said that the woman aged 45, sustained wounds after being hit by a rubber-coated-steel bullet. Local sources said that the woman was injured when Israeli troops opened fire at local youths in the village.

Witnesses said that Israeli troops stormed the village and assaulted and detained several men, while local youths threw stones and clashed with the soldiers. Soldiers responded with tear gas and rubber-coated-steel bullets. The medics in the local ambulance service said there were at least 10 others who were treated for gas inhalation.

In addition Israeli troops continued to conduct predawn invasions and kidnap civilians in the West Bank. On Wednesday, Palestinian sources said at least 15 Palestinian civilians were kidnapped during those invasions. The invasions were focused on the Hebron, Jenin and Nablus areas of the West Bank.
