Israeli troops opened fire on Palestinian women who marched to break the Israeli siege on a mosque in the town of Beit Hanoun.

The firing killed two Palestinians and left 25 wounded.
On the third day of their offensive, Israeli troops laid siege on al-Nasr Mosque where Hamas members were being sheltered.

Some Hamas members were reportedly able to escape by mingling among Palestinian women.

Answering an appeal by Hamas, Palestinian women rushed to act as human shields between the mosque and Israeli troops. (What a sick way of reporting. just to mask thier henious crimes they are alleging this. Kashif)

Israel has frequently attacked the Gaza Strip since an Israeli soldier was abducted by Palestinian groups in late June.

On Nov.2, Israeli air strikes killed four Palestinians. Those who were killed in the strike were reported to be members of Hamas’s armed wing, including local commander Ammar Mustafa.

In Cebaliya, three members of the Islamic Jihad were seriously wounded in a missile strike.

The number of Palestinians killed over the last three days rose to 25.

Over 80 Palestinians were wounded and nearly 100 were arrested during the Israeli offensive.

Palestinian Minister of Public Works Abdel Rahman Zidan was also arrested.

Over 300 Palestinians were killed in the Israeli offensive in Palestinian territories launched on June 25 after the abduction of am Israeli soldier.
