A new Israeli attack against Beit Sahour Injuring a Palestinian, and causing damage to homes yesterday February 13th 2001

The Israeli soldiers in the military base, located at the eastern side of the town of Beit Sahour, opened tank shells fire and high velocity machine guns at the houses of the civilians adjacent to the military base.

Naji Qumsieh, was hurt by a bullet that penetrated the window of his house and came into his shoulder.  Naji has been hardly evacuated by the neighbors to the Hospital last night under heavy shooting by the Israeli army from the base The ambulance could not reach the site because of the shooting.

The house of Barhum Abu Farha, which was burned on October 25th 2000 as a result of bullets that came from the base was hit again with a tank shell that destroyed the upper corner of the house facing the military base.  The neighboring house that belongs to Joseph Hijazin (Matarweh) family was also hit with shells causing more damage for the house that was also hit several times before in the past year.   The house of Fathi Hanash and Adnan Younis and Ghassan Shueibat where also hit this time.  These houses were hit in the previous wave of shelling against the town in the past few months.

The soldiers continued shooting until a late time after midnight.  The families could not sleep that night, children were scared all night from the sound of the bombs.  

The families had to leave their homes and all of them are going back to their exile inside there homes after they went back for some time to their original houses.
