Israeli Tanks & Bulldozers in Beit Hanoun Today



Three Israeli tanks and two bulldozers, in an incursion today in Beit Hanoun, near the agricultural college [kulliyat el zira'aa], BURNT more than 10,000 metres [10 denums] of wheat & farming land for the Abu Odeh and Zuwaida family. They entered at noon, and left at four o'clock.

The last incursion, occurred on 28th of June in Al Faraheen, on the eastern borders with 1948 lands.

The Beit Hanoun local activists, in addition to ISM activists, had been in that area before & had been shot at. We had retrieved the body of martyrs Abu Odeh and Kafarneh, and have also previously accompanied farmers in that area for harvest.

Note that before the 22-day intensive genocidal attacks on the Gaza Strip, in November, there were similarly burnings and incursions in the areas around one kilometre away from the fence, within the Strip.
