NABLUS, West Bank -- As fighting raged in the streets of Nablus, an Israeli
army bulldozer moved in and demolished a building, sending it crashing down
on an apartment next door, where Abdallah and Shams Shobi lived with their
extended family.

The collapse killed eight members of the Shobi family, and left Abdallah,
68, and his wife, Shams, 65, trapped in a darkened, rubble-filled room on
the ground floor with nothing to eat or drink but a single bottle of water.

They could move around within the room, but were stuck for a week without
light or fresh air and did not know the fate of their relatives. They
frequently lost track of their water bottle in the darkness, and after four
days, the water ran out.

By Friday morning, after being entombed for seven days, they had almost
given up hope of making it out alive, Abdallah said. "

Jamal Fayed

It is clear that people were not always given sufficient time to evacuate
homes before the IDF began bulldozing them. In one such case, Jamal Fayed,
a 38-year-old man, was killed when the bulldozing of his home caused a wall
of his house to collapse on him.

Jamal Fayed’s mother, Fathiya Muhammad Sulayman Shalabi, told Amnesty
International delegates that her son was disabled from birth. He was unable
to move on his own accord and he could not speak. The family’s home is in
the Jurrat al-Dahab area of the camp, close to the Hawashin district. She
described heavy fighting in and around her area on 10 April, roughly one
week after the first incursion to the camp. She said that on the following
day, a missile hit their house and the upper floors of the house had begun
to burn. When they tried to leave the house, her aunt Fawziya Muhammad was
hurt. The family then climbed out through a side window but was unable to
carry Jamal Fayed with them. When they left the house, they informed the
IDF, who had taken up position in a house nearby, that Jamal Fayed was in
the house and they should hold their fire. An IDF medic was there and
treated Fawziya Muhammad’s wound. The family then sought shelter in an
uncle’s house where they remained for the evening. "

On 6 April, a house in the Qasbah of Nablus was bulldozed by the IDF on top
of 10 members of the al-Shu’bi family. Eight members of the al-Shu’bi
family were killed including three children, their pregnant mother and
85-year-old grandfather. The IDF clearly failed to ensure that there were
no people in the house when they destroyed it.

"

"For the chief of the UN's agency for Palestinian refugees, Peter
Hansen, the shooting and the scrambling over the wreckage of the street was
a taste of everyday life in Rafah's Brazeel neighbourhood....

Mr Hansen said later: "One thing that strikes you is that so many
people said they had their homes bulldozed while they were in the houses.

"I've heard the Israelis deny this, but to me it was quite striking
the consistency of the reports that I was getting." "

etc.etc.

Yeah it's some trick to stay inside when lots of people with guns are
shooting at Palestinians wandering around in the ope.
