PNN/ Gaza/
Israeli Occupation Tanks and bulldozers on Wednesday morning have carried a limited invasion into Al-Breij refugee camp, central Gaza strip, in midst of discopntinouos gunfire.

According to locals, three tanks and three bulldozers have gone 150 meters into farmland of the strip, and started bulldozing land in midst of random gunfire.

Many residents have reported such attacks on their farms and homes in Gaza, where tanks invade and bulldoze land, and soldiers open fire in the area, terrorizing residents and focing them to flee.

This week as well, Israeli occupation Naval forces have opened fire on fishermen's boats off Gaza shores, in repetitive attacks, breaking the alleged "firetruce" pledged following last year's deadly genocide on Gaza.

A rocket fired by Gaza gunmen exploded near Kibbutz Miflasim on Thursday evening, triggering warning sirens in that area close to the border with the northern part of the coastal territory.

The IDF said the blast occurred in an open area, apparently inside Gaza. There were no reports of any injuries.

On Sunday, a rocket was also fired at Israel from Gaza. It exploded in an open area in the region governed by Sha'ar Hanegev Regional Council. In response to that rocket firing, the Israel Air Force (IAF) struck two Hamas terrorist sites in the Strip.

JERUSALEM ( JTA) - An Israeli teen who was stabbed by two Palestinian teens while riding his bike in Jerusalem celebrated his bar mitzvah at the Western Wall.

Naor Ben-Ezra was joined at the celebration by members of the medical team who treated him at Hadassah Hospital after the October 12 attack in the Pisgat Zeev neighborhood of Jerusalem, according to the Times of Israel.

"I didn't think I was going to have a bar mitzvah after I was stabbed, " he told reporters, adding, "I feel like I am 90-95 percent better than I was before."

Naor was put in an induced coma and connected to a respirator after the attack and is still undergoing rehabilitation.

One of the teen's assailants, Hassan Mansra, 15, was killed by security officials during the attack. The second teen, Ahmed Mansra, 13, of eastern Jerusalem, was treated at the same hospital after he was seriously injured by a car as he attempted to flee the scene.

Qalandiya (Palestinian Territories) (AFP) - Clashes broke out Wednesday after Israeli soldiers raided a refugee camp near Ramallah in the West Bank and shot dead two Palestinians who tried to ram their cars into troops.

The Israeli military said three soldiers were wounded, including one seriously, but said it was investigating whether their injuries were due to stray fire from other troops.

Four Palestinians were wounded in addition to the two who were killed at the Qalandiya refugee camp in the occupied territory near a checkpoint at the entrance to Jerusalem, the Palestinian health ministry said.

"During an operation to make arrests of wanted Palestinians and to seize arms in Qalandiya refugee camp, two attempted car-ramming attacks were made against security forces in two different parts of the camp," the Israeli army said in a statement.

The Palestinian health ministry named the dead men as Ahmad Jahajha, 21, and Hekmat Hamdan, whose age was not disclosed.

Witnesses said clashes erupted during the raid and lasted for several hours.

Two cars were later seen with a large number of bullet holes in them in the camp.

Wednesday's raid came amid almost daily knife, gun and car-ramming attacks by Palestinians and clashes with Israeli soldiers since October 1.

The violence has killed 119 on the Palestinian side, 17 Israelis, an American and an Eritrean.

Many of the Palestinians killed have been attackers, while others have been shot dead by Israeli security forces during clashes.

Young Palestinians have grown frustrated with Israel's occupation and the complete lack of progress in peace efforts, in addition to their own fractured leadership.

In the Gaza Strip, Palestinian security and medical officials said that cross-border Israeli tank fire wounded three people, one seriously, after what the Israeli military said was an apparent roadside bomb attempt against an army border patrol.

- 'Hamas border post hit' -

The Palestinians did not identify their casualties.

Eyewitnesses said the Israeli fire also hit a border observation post of the Islamist militant group Hamas, which controls Gaza.

An Israeli army statement said that no troops were wounded and shells were fired in response.

"I can confirm that artillery fire was used," a spokeswoman told AFP.

Earlier Wednesday, a Palestinian was wounded by Israeli gunfire at the border fence, Palestinian medical officials said.

On Tuesday, the United Nations voiced deep concern over an "unacceptable" wave of Palestinians attacking Israelis, but also criticised "excessive use of force" in response to the attacks.

"We continue to be gravely concerned at the unrelenting violence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory and in Israel," Cecile Pouilly, spokeswoman for the UN human rights office, told reporters.

"We call on both Israeli and Palestinian leaders to act decisively to de-escalate the situation."

Pouilly warned that although international attention appeared to be waning, "the level of killings, injuries and arrests has continued, with an average of one person dying every day".

On Wednesday afternoon, envoys of the international diplomatic quartet met senior Israeli officials in Jerusalem, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

"There was a long, serious and businesslike discussion on ways to bring the violence to a halt and bring back security," the Hebrew-language statement said.

"Both sides acknowledged that continuing the peace process is the real guarantee for achieving peace with security."

The quartet groups the United States, Russia, the United Nations and the European Union in an effort to broker an end to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Israel announced last month that it was suspending until further notice diplomatic contacts with EU institutions over the bloc's decision to label goods imported from Jewish settlements.

But the European Union pledged to continue working for Middle East peace "in the quartet".

Before they were evicted, the Israeli settlers threw bottles of urine, attacked children and poisoned a horse, according to Palestinian residents in Hebron- who now fear their former neighbours will return.

When Israeli soldiers evicted the settlers in 2008 and took over the Rajabi building in the West Bank city -- which is still home to hundreds of radical Israeli settlers -- even the daily drag of inspections seemed civilised by comparison.

But the nightmare looks set to resume for Palestinians living near here and another flashpoint property called the Abu Rajab house, both of which have been claimed by settlers in the heart of the tense city considered holy by both Jews and Muslims.

The settlers were forced out of the Abu Rajab house last year, but Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu recently ordered they be allowed back in after a soldier was shot dead by a Palestinian sniper.

And Israel's Supreme Court is set to rule on the ownership dispute over the Rajabi building, with a verdict in the settlers' favour likely to bring back the violence and abuse.

Both properties are located close to a contested holy site known to Muslims as the Ibrahimi Mosque and to Jews as the Cave of the Patriarchs in an area called H2 -- a tightly-controlled Israeli enclave where many key streets are off-limits to Palestinian cars.

Jewish settlers forced their way into the four-storey Rajabi building in 2007 but were evicted by Israeli troops the following year after a week of violence.

Settler community spokesman David Wilder said the buildings were legally acquired "through a purchasing agent for the Jewish community."

Palestinians view the selling of property in occupied territory to Jewish settlers as a betrayal of their national cause, so such purchases are nearly always conducted in secret or through middlemen, increasing the potential for disputes.

Palestinians fear the court will rule in favour of the settlers, despite the fact that police said some of the documents had been forged.

"We're already living in a prison," said local shoemaker Bassem al-Jabbari, who lives opposite the property.

"I can't park my car outside my own shop because the army has closed this road to most Palestinian vehicles," he told AFP, motioning towards a roadblock set up when troops took over the contested property.

"But when the settlers were there it was worse... They would physically attack us, including throwing bottles of urine at us and our children," he said.

"The settlers also poisoned my horse. They tried to steal it from me by telling the police it was theirs, but when I produced the paperwork showing I owned it, they got angry and came to poison it."

Wilder denied settler responsibility for the horse poisoning, and blamed much of the violence on Israelis "from outside Hebron".

"People who came in from outside Hebron behaved in ways we opposed, caused problems and did not abide by our guidelines," he said.

Calls for resettlement 'purely for revenge'

The Rajabi building itself is deserted, although soldiers occupy a concrete bunker on the roof. Its windows are smashed, its doors boarded up and barbed wire is stretched across the balconies. Down the sides hang two large Israeli flags.

A short walk away, down deserted streets with barricaded shopfronts, sits the Abu Rajab house.

Last year, the defence ministry ordered 15 settlers out of the property, known to Israelis as the Machpela House.

But two months ago, Netanyahu called for the three-storey property to be resettled.

Here too there is a dispute over ownership, which must eventually be decided by the court, with settlers claiming they legally purchased the top two floors.

The property's Palestinian owners, who say they've been confined to the ground floor since the settlers moved in, insist letting the settlers back in would mean a return of past violence, including against local school children.

"The top two floors are now empty since they're controlled by the Israeli state. It's ruling our area with an iron rod," said 26-year-old Hatim Abu Rajab, who lives with seven members of his family.

Netanyahu's call to resettle the house in the wake of the shooting was "purely for revenge", he said.

"But they have the weapons and we don't, so what can we do? And in the meantime, settlers still come by regularly and try to get in, or just come by to insult us."

The house's Jewish claimants have pinned a notice to Abu Rajab's door reading: "We paid. We bought it. It's ours!!"

The headmistress of the girls' school next door recalls the abuse her pupils suffered when the settlers were in residence, with settler children hurling both stones and verbal abuse at the schoolgirls.

But Ibtisam al-Jundi has resigned herself to the harsh realities of living in a city under military occupation, where teachers and pupils have to cross multiple checkpoints just to get to school.

"They're regularly searched, sometimes more than doubling the time it takes them to get here. What should be a 10-15 minute walk can take 40 minutes," she told AFP.

"The children are used to it, it's been happening all their lifetime," she added.

Wilder said it was not the policy of Hebron settlers to attack Arabs.

"Whether or not our children initiated attacks against Arabs, we were very careful to make sure there were no incidents," Wilder said.
