West Bank, two Israeli soldiers disap-
peared. A bus station in Jerusalem was
set afire.
The same week, there was an attack
against a Shin Bet agent in Tel Aviv.
Guerrillas placed a booby-trapped car in
the ground-level parking lot of an
eight-story building. An Israeli military
spokesman said that the car belonged to
a colonel who is in charge of the «serious
crimes» section of the interrogation
department, run by Shin Bet. The
explosion of the car caused a fire which
burned seven other cars and two storeys
of the building before fire engines
arrived. The building was evacuated and
surrounded. Seven Israelis were injured,
one of them a general who was burnd all
over his body.
On May 10th, Israeli radio reported
that nine soldiers had been killed in the
past week and 67 injured in 60 incidents.
Zionist sources described the military
operations as «dynamic» and «orga-
nized». Zeev Schiff, military commen-
tator for the Israeli daily Haaretz, wrote
that operations average 1.5 daily and
have disoriented the Israeli security
forces.
In the last half of May, there was a
series of attacks in occupied Jerusalem.
On May 19th, Palestinian militants set
fire to a bus station. Freedom fighters
opened fire on a number of Zionists,
killing one and injuring five. A remote-
control bomb was set off against a Zio-
nist military patrol north of the city on
May 2Ist, and there were several fire
bomb attacks. On May 25th, a bomb
exploded in Weisman street; the Zionists
acknowleged that two settlers were
injured. There was a remote-control
explosion against the car of a Zionist
officer, driving north of the city.
In the same period, there were two
bomb attacks in Asqalan in southern
12
Palestine. Another two bombs exploded
in Kufr Saba, east of Tel Aviv, one near
a transport station and another near the
house of a Zionist intelligence agent.
The Zionists acknowledged one injury:
the latter attack.
On May 21st, an Israeli soldier was
injured by a fire bomb thrown at a mili-
tary vehicle in Jabalia camp. On May
27th, a remote-control explosion des-
troyed the car of a Zionist officer who
works at Gaza prison, as he was driving
past Jabalia; the officer was critically
injured.
In the first week of June, an Israeli
bus was hit by a molotov near Jenin in
the northern West Bank, while a fire
bomb caused extensive damage ina
Zionist settlement. In Hebron, a Kiryat
Arba settler was stabbed to death, while
another Zionist was shot in Nablus.
There were explosions near an industrial
area of Jerusalem, causing extensive
casualties and damage. An Israeli sol-
dier was wounded in Jerusalem when
Palestinians threw stones at a military
patrol. @
Mass Resistance
On April 14th, seven Palestinians and
one Israeli soldier were wounded in a
clash between the students of Poli-
technic Institute and the Zionist occu-
pation forces in Hebron (AI Khalil).
Zionist soldiers broke into the institute
after the students had stoned Israeli
military vehicles and thrown iron bars
and empty bottles. The students had
blocked the roads with burning tires and
raised the Palestinian flag. They were
protesting the convening of the extre-
mist Zionist Tehiyah Party’s conference
in Kiryat Arba settlement near Hebron.
There were fist fights between the stu-
dents and soldiers, and seventy students
were arrested. Yuval Neeman, leader of
the Tehiyah party, in his opening
speech, called for the expulsion of
Palestinian refugees from the West
Bank and Gaza «as a part of an Arab-
Israeli settlement.»
Observing May 15th, the day the
Zionist state was proclaimed, many
strikes and demonstrations occurred in
occupied Palestine. There were fierce
confrontations with the Zionist forces in
most cities and camps in the occupied
West Bank and Gaza Strip. Angry
demonstrators in Nablus raised Pales-
tinian flags and signs condeming Zionist
repression. Demonstrators confronted
the Zionist Gush Emunim gangs that
opened fire on the demonstrators.
Najah University students stoned Zio-
nist forces during a demonstration.
They were protesting the blocking of the
entrance of the university to stop stu-
dents from planning their annual rally
on May 15th. The students also threw
bottles at the Zionist forces, injuring
three soldiers. The Zionist forces
opened fire on the students and injured
two of them. The residents of nearby
Balata camp burned tires in the streets,
and stoned the Israeli settlers’ parade,
held in commemoration of the esta-
‘blishment of the state of ‘Israel’. Strict
curfews were imposed on all of Nablus,
especially the Qasba quarter, Najah
University and Balata.
In Jerusalem, and in Duheisha camp
near Bethlehem, similar demonstrations
took place. A curfew was imposed on
Duheisha.
