Israel army blows up Palestinian buildings in Gaza

Jerusalem, Oct 26: The Israeli army blew up three partly
constructed buildings in the central Gaza Strip today after
temporarily evacuating an estimated 2,000 Palestinian residents
living nearby, witnesses said.

They said the three 13-storey buildings which overlooked the
Netzarim Jewish settlement were dynamited, the sound of the
explosion echoing across the densely populated coastal strip.

Security sources said the buildings were destroyed because
Palestinian militants had used them to plan an attack on
Netzarim on Friday in which three Israeli soldiers were killed.
