Despite the increasing international criticism of the Israeli aggression and 
the calls for immediate withdrawal from the occupied Palestinian territories, 
the Israeli occupation forces continued the series of killing, destruction and 
assassination against the unarmed Palestinian people. The Israeli forces on 
Tuesday assassinated the two Palestinians Marwan Zaloun ( 30 year old) the 
commander of al-Aqsa group in Hebron and member in the special unit in the 
Palestinian police and Samir Abu Rajeh ( 24 year old) from the guards of the 
chairman of the Palestinian authority. 

Eye witnesses said that an Israeli helicopter fired its missiles at the car 
carrying Zaloun and Abu Rajeh in the downtown of Hebron and this resulted in 
killing them. 

Meantime, the Palestinian youth Amin Thabet ( 13 year old) was shot by the 
Israeli bullets in Beit Jala and the Israeli forces broke into Sourin, Housan, 
al-Khuder, al-Amera and Batish villages in the surrounding of Bethlehem and 
arrested 35 citizens including Jamal Jamamira, one of the local leaders in the 
" Islamic Jihad." 

Palestinian sources said that the Israeli soldiers destroyed the furniture of 
the houses of the detainees and beat their families including children. 

As for the Nativity church besieged by the Israeli forces since three weeks, a 
spokeswoman for the Israeli army said that Palestinian and Israeli officials 
started direct talks in an attempt to end the siege on the church, while three 
clergies got out of it seeking help. 

The Israeli forces also arrested 15 citizens in Bethlehem and Ramullah cities 
under the pretext of resisting the Israeli occupation and also arrested other 
five citizens in Kharbata and Baleen villages in Ramullah districts and a young 
man in Yalta village in Hebron and another Palestinian mear Qalqilya and the 
Israeli invading forces also carried out a vast mopping up operation near 
Hebron and arrested four of its citizens The Israeli occupation army also 
incurred for more than one kilometer to the east of al-Salqa valley to the west 
of Deir al-Balah city in Gaza and closed the main road leading to the town, 
while the intensive fire of the Israeli heavy machinery and tanks resulted in 
destroying a position for the Palestinian national security. 

Meantime, the Israeli settlers in Hebron stole a Jewelry shop owned by a 
Palestinian and the stolen Jewelry were estimated at a value of USD 100,000 and 
this was done under the protection of the Israeli army, while tens of Israeli 
settlers, led by member of the Israeli Knesset Beni Aloun, backed by the 
Israeli forces expelled nine Palestinian families form the Sheikh Jarrah 
al-Arabi quarters in Jerusalem and occupied the houses by means of forces.
