Early last night a newsflash was broadcast on our local TV stations announcing the killing of four people in Bethlehem and injuries to at least three others. No names or the circumstances surrounding the incident were given. Until late in the night our TV station brought more news concerning what had happened.
Amongst the dead is a ten-year-old child. All four were murdered by Israeli troops. The injured include the mother, father and sister of Christine, the little girl brutally slain by the occupation army. They are currently in hospital, their injuries serious, but apparently not life threatening.
The Israelis claim that they wanted to arrest a person and set up an ambush, right in the heart of the town of Bethlehem, with no care for the innocent people in the streets. The two-pegout cars drove by and the Israeli soldiers just started shooting indiscriminately toward the vehicles. The head master of the Greek Orthodox School in Beit Sahour was the driver of one vehicle, his family with him; they were all shot.
