A Palestinian woman was killed by Israeli forces inside her house

NABLUS,
West Bank, October 11 (IslamOnline & News Agencies) – Continuing
their policies of killing and incursions, Israeli soldiers shot dead a
Palestinian woman inside her home in the northern West Bank town of
Nablus Friday, October 11, while Israeli tanks forcibly entered the
Palestinian territory in the northern Gaza Strip.
Palestinian
medical sources said that Shaden Abu Hisli, 50, was inside her home
when soldiers in an army jeep fired and hit her with a bullet in the
head, reported Agence France-Presse (AFP).
In
Gaza, meanwhile, the Israeli occupation tanks fired five shells and
used heavy machine guns moving a few meters (yards) into the Beit
Hanoun area, Palestinian security sources said.
Some
houses were damaged but no casualties reported, AFP said.
On
the other hand, the armed wing of the Democratic Front for the
Liberation of Palestine (DFLP) claimed it wounded an illegal Jewish
settler.
The
National Resistance Brigades said it attacked two cars carrying
settlers between the nearby (illegal) Jewish settlements of Alei Sinai
and Nitzanit.
"Our
military group ambushed two settler taxis near Nitzanit, opened fire
and threw hand grenades, injuring one settler," a statement said,
adding that an Israeli helicopter evacuated the wounded.
The
Israeli army could not immediately confirm the incident.
The
group said the attack was in retaliation for the "Khan Yunis
massacre", in reference to the army raid Monday, October 7, in
which 17 Palestinians, mainly civilians, were killed.
The
army has stepped up its military sweep of Gaza lately, sparking
Palestinian fears of a complete reoccupation of the narrow and crowded
strip.
"If
Israel plans to reoccupy Gaza completely, the Gaza Strip will become
the Israeli army's cemetery," the group warned in its statement.
Meanwhile,
the armed wing of the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas claimed
responsibility Friday for the attack that killed an Israeli woman and
the bomber a day earlier in Tel Aviv.
"The
Ezzedin al-Qassam Brigades claim full responsibility for this
operation carried out by one of its martyrs," the group said in a
statement received in Gaza City.
"This
operation was carried out to avenge Salah Shehada and the Khan Yunis
martyrs," the statement said.
On
July 22, an Israeli plane dropped a one-ton bomb on a crowded Gaza
City neighborhood, killing a key Hamas leader, Shehada, his bodyguard
and 19 civilians, including eleven children.
And
on Monday, October 7, Israeli tanks backed by bulldozers and
helicopters stormed the autonomous southern Gaza Strip town of Khan
Yunis, in an assault that left 17 Palestinians dead.
Palestinian
security sources named the Tel Aviv bomber as Rafiq Amr, a 31-year-old
Hamas member from the village of Habla, just inside the Green Line
with Israel near the northern West Bank city of Qalqilya.
Meanwhile,
Israeli police restricted Palestinian access to Friday prayers in the
Al-Mosque mosque compound in the Old City of occupied East Jerusalem,
police said.
Muslim
worshippers flocked to Al-Aqsa Mosque for Friday prayers, which ended
without any incidents amid a massive Israeli security deployment.
Some
worshippers from outside the Old City were prevented from entering the
walls to reach the compound, but no incidents were reported.
Police
barred Muslim males under 40 from entering the compound of Al-Aqsa
mosque, the third holiest site in Islam.
