raid
kills 12
By Ibrahim Barzak
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip —
Israeli troops stormed a Hamas
stronghold on Thursday, setting
off the most intense gunbattle in
the Gaza Strip in 2 1/2 years of
fighting, just a day after media
tors presented a Mideast peace
plan. Twelve Palestinians were
killed, including two children
and a top bombmaker.
Also Thursday, a Palestinian
opened fire on a guard post out
side a Jewish settlement in the
West Bank, and soldiers killed
the attacker, the military said.
Palestinian officials and
Israeli opposition leaders
accused Prime Minister Ariel
Sharon of using the raid to under
cut the new Palestinian prime
minister, Mahmoud Abbas,
before he has a chance to fulfill a
promise to disarm militias.
However, a Sharon adviser
said Israel would not halt its
anti-terror campaign and would
not give Abbas, sworn in
Wednesday, a grace period.
The Israeli incursion pitched
more than 200 Palestinian gun
men with anti-tank missiles,
grenades and homemade explo
sives against Israeli soldiers who
fired machine guns and tank
shells. Sixty-five Palestinians
were wounded, including 15
critically.
The violence came just a day
after international mediators pre
sented a new peace plan, the so-
called “road map” to Palestinian
statehood within three years. The
Palestinians have accepted the
plan, while Israel has expressed
major reservations.
I The road map starts with a
Palestinian crackdown on terror
groups and an Israeli freeze on
Jewish settlements in the West
Bank and Gaza Strip, combined
with a gradual Israeli pullout
from the autonomous Palestinian
zones its troops have reoccupied
(luring 31 months of fighting.
In Madrid, Secretary of State
Colin Powell urged both sides to
take steps toward implementing
the plan. “We need to see the end
to terror — and actions on the
Israeli side as well,” Powell said
at the start of a trip through
Europe and the Middle East.
Powell was expected to meet with
Sharon and Abbas next week.
The Gaza City incursion
came a day after Hamas carried
out a suicide bombing in a Tel
Aviv pub that killed a waitress
and two musicians. However,
Israeli military officials did not
link the raid to the bombing, say
ing they were after three top
Hamas fugitives in Gaza —
brothers Yousef, Mahmoud and
Ayman Abu Hein.
