Israel kill 12 Palestinians in fresh attacks

AFP, Gaza
Israeli troops stormed into Gaza City early yesterday killing 10 Palestinians in gunbattles during what the army said was a crackdown on Palestinian "terrorist" operations.
An 11th Palestinian blew himself up next to an Israeli tank while a 12th, said to be mentally ill, was shot dead after a curfew in the West Bank town of Nablus in a new surge of bloodshed that has swept the region in recent days.
The suicide bomber belonged to the armed wing of the Palestinian militant movement Hamas, which has seen eight of its fighters killed by Israeli forces since Sunday -- seven of them in the Gaza Strip.
The overnight raid came just a day after Israeli Defence Minister Shaul Mofaz vowed to hit hard at the radical Hamas group after it blew up
an Israeli tank in the West Bank, killing the four soldiers inside.
No Israelis were reported injured in the clashes overnight, which also came as leading Palestinian and Israeli officials are in London for talks on reforms and aid for Yasser Arafat's Palestinian Authority.
About 50 Israeli tanks backed by bulldozers and helicopters penetrated about two kilometers (one mile) into Sadjaiyeh in the eastern part of Gaza City overnight, Palestinian security officials said.
They said Israeli troops destroyed two metal workshops and a house, and searched several other houses as exchanges of fire took place.
The soldiers also seriously damaged a school sponsored by Hamas founder and spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmad Yassin. Witnesses said the soldiers later started to
withdraw, and an Israeli army spokesman said the raid lasted six hours.
An Israeli television channel reported Tuesday that Sharon held secret talks last weekend with Palestinian finance minister Salam Fayad on a truce to end the 29-month-old Palestinian uprising which has left almost 3,000 dead.
Israeli officials refused to comment on the report, while Palestinian officials said Fayad could not be reached as he was attending meetings on Palestinian reforms in London.
An Israeli delegation is also there but the two sides are not meeting with each other.
Fayad has undertaken reforms to counter official corruption and secured the transfer of millions of dollars in Palestinian funds frozen by Israel.
