Israeli troops raid Nablus bank

[Syrinx]

NABLUS, West Bank - Israeli forces raided the West Bank cities of Nablus and Jenin early Wednesday, destroying five foreign exchange depots and a bank and taking funds the army said were earmarked for terrorism, the Israeli military and Palestinian money changers said.

The troops pulled Jenin money changers from their homes under cover of darkness and forced them to open their businesses, two of the money changers said.

The Israeli military did not give details of the operation, saying only that forces in Nablus targeted "funds that serve terrorism and the terrorist infrastructure."

Israeli troops have in the past raided West Bank banks, confiscating thousands of dollars the army said Palestinian militant groups were planning to use to fund attacks against Israel.

4. The money was unspecified terrorist groups?

If you can extrapolate which group or group(s) it very likely was not from that statement, then who? For support of terrorist "infrastructure", the Israeli's have been big on that word this summer. Just which Palestinian group(s) do the Israeli's not consider terrorist, are there any?

5. ...

"Just which Palestinian group(s) do the Israeli's not consider terrorist, are there any?"

The ones not associated with terrorist activity and claiming responsibility for terrorist attacks. To my knowledge, there are several groups that are not associated with terrorism, and thus, not considered to be terrorist organizations.

7. Seriously which ones

Fatah, Hamas these groups are the legitimate government of Palestine, I'm not saying they are innocents but that is fact. I am earnestly asking, despite the hands -on- hips attitude that I felt in your reply.

6. I would like to note...

I would like to note that I posted this in LBN, where, in my opinion, it belongs. I didn't post it in I/P. I have no agenda regarding the I/P situation. I just saw a recent story on yahoo that I had not heard about before. Thank you.
