Zionazi Occupiers Open Fire On School Children In Dura Current rating: 3
26 Sep 2002

"Look, my sons didn't attack Israeli civilians, they didn't attack restaurants, they attacked armed soldiers occupying our land and persecuting our people. My sons are not terrorists, they are freedom fighters .."

OCCUPIED JERUSALEM (9-25-02) - As part of Israel's war on the civilian Palestinian population, Israeli occupation forces on Wednesday dynamited the family home of the former Mayor of Dura as a reprisal for his son's involvement in attacks on Israeli troops.

Eyewitnesses said Israeli troops destroyed the house of Mahmoud Nammoura early in the morning by dynamite.

Nammura said an Israeli soldiers gave him only five minutes to leave the home.

"When I told him that what they were doing was illegal, the officer said 'I'm the law, do you understand?"

Two of Nammoura's sons are imprisoned in Israeli jails for taking parts in armed attacks on an Israeli military convoy last year.

Nammoura, a human rights activist, condemned the Israeli action as "criminal and constituting the ugliest form of terror."

"Look, my sons didn't attack Israeli civilians, they didn't attack restaurants, they attacked armed soldiers occupying our land and persecuting our people. My sons are not terrorists, they are freedom fighters."

Nammoura said the soldiers wouldn't allow him even to get his computer and books out.

"They are real Nazis," he said.

Meanwhile, Israeli tanks and armored personnel carriers continued to patrol the streets of the small town while soldiers took positions on rooftops with machine guns trained at Palestinians down the streets.

On Tuesday, more than fifteen Palestinian boys were injured when Israeli soldiers opened fire on school children.

There are no Jewish settlers in Dura and the people of the small town are wondering why the Israeli army is keeping tanks and troops in their streets.
