- Story Text: Israeli forces raid Gaza camp, killing one
Israel tanks and armoured bulldozers on Monday (July 12, 2004)
pushed into the Gaza Strip to demolish what the army called militant gunposts
and Palestinian medics said a man was killed when his house was knocked
down.
The army said it had removed flimsy shacks and uncompleted structures,
but no inhabited buildings in the raid near the town of Khan Younis.
Palestinian medics and witnesses said 70-year-old Mahmoud Khala Sallah
was inside a building when it was knocked down. They were unsure if the army
could have been aware he was there.
Violence in the Gaza Strip has surged since Israeli Prime Minister
Ariel Sharon set out a plan early this year to withdraw troops and settlers
from the impoverished territory captured in the 1967 Middle East war.
Right-winger Sharon met centre-left opposition leader Shimon Peres on
Monday morning to discuss forming a new coalition government that would be
able to push through the withdrawal plan next year.
