Israel Defense Forces troops raided the West Bank
city of Ramallah on Tuesday, encircled a mosque as
prayers were underway and searched the nearby
offices of a the Al Jazeera satellite television
station, Palestinian witnesses said.


Witnesses said troops surrounded Abdel Nasser
mosque in the center of Ramallah after imposing a
curfew, and fired warning shots and and tear gas to
disperse hundreds of stone-throwing youths. There
were no immediate reports of casualties.

IDF officials said the mosque was being used by
Hamas militants, and that troops were hunting
for one or more wanted Hamas men.

Army Radio on Tuesday evening quoted military
sources as saying that seven of the 14
Palestinians killed in the air strikes were
positively identified as Hamas operatives. The
other casualties were believed to be
non-combatants.

According to video footage provided by the IDF,
the target areas were empty of bystanders at
the time of the air force raids. In the video -
filmed by a remote-controlled pilotless-plane
flying above Gaza and screened on Israeli
television news programs Tuesday evening -
viewers were unable to see any bystanders at
the time of the missile impacts.
