AL-FARAHEEN'S VICTIMS OF ISRAELI PRETEXTS
By Rami  Almeghari, Live from Palestine, Aug 17, 2007

Surveillance cameras and  watchtowers loom over more than
800 meters away from the scene of destruction  left by
Israeli army tanks and bulldozers following the latest
Israeli  invasion of the al-Faraheen area in Abbassan
al-Kabeera town, to the east of  Khan Younis in the
southern Gaza Strip. "Fifteen dunums [four acres]  of
tomatoes along with 400 meters of irrigation pipes were
crushed by the  Israeli tanks during the invasion into our
area, where myself and two other  partners make our
living," says Samir al-Naqa, a local farmer in  the
al-Faraheen area. EI correspondent Rami Almeghari
interviews some of  those affected by Israel's latest
campaign of destruction.

BETHLEHEM LAND DESTROYED AS SETTLERS ANCHOR IN
Nora  Barrows-Friedman, The Electronic Intifada, Aug 17, 2007

BETHLEHEM, 16  August (IPS) - Israeli forces began
Wednesday to bulldoze hundreds of trees  on land owned by a
Catholic convent near the city of Beit Jala  near
Bethlehem. This section of forest is being razed,
according to  Israeli plans, to complete a section of the
separation wall, which continues  to carve the West Bank
into pieces. Near the convent, the Israeli  settlement
colonies of Gilo and Har Gilo, behind the wall on
Palestinian  lands, continue to expand over the rocky
hillsides. When this section of the  wall is completed,
several villages will be separated from each other and  the
greater Bethlehem area.
