Palestinian report 4

New mail from Sarah in Palestine:

another desperate message from bethlehem. we are under attack right now - there are tanks, apcs and bulldozers coming in through beit sahour and south bethlehem. there are israeli soldiers in dehaishe and ayda refugee camps, entering homes, and the ibdaa community centre there has been shelled.

there are also f-16s and helicopter gunships overhead, and they are shelling and firing rounds. the troops have taken over a building - we believe it to be the school - in the centre of bethlehem.

7 internationals were wounded today in the process of a peaceful march in beit jala; one was seriously injured and has had to be operated on to have shrapnel from splinter bullets (illegal under international law and denied by the israeli army) removed from her abdomen.

please get on to any parliamentarians, press etc you may be able to contact. lives depend on it.

for interviews and other press updates please contact the alternative media centre on:
00 972 67435459
00 972 55840767
00 972 22777558
00 972 67270398

all but the 7558 number are mobiles so should still be running even if we are shelled or taken out of the building, which seems very possible as we are in the bethlehem tv building in the town centre, which has been a target before. we can also supply interview numbers and information on the situation in ramallah.
