Last night was quiet for me, but I heard that Israeli soldiers
invaded Bethlehem again. The Palestinian police told me that some
areas of town have been under curfew, usually around the refugee
camps.

Israeli troops enter Bethlehem for second straight day

ABC News Online

An Israeli column briefly moved into Bethlehem early on Saturday, a
day after carrying out a similar operation which followed a suicide
bombing in Jerusalem, an army spokesman said.

No shooting was heard as the column of around 20 vehicles, including
trucks, drove into the Biblical town.

A spokesman later said "our forces withdrew from Bethlehem after a
brief, pinpointed operation."

On Friday, the army entered the West Bank town for the first time
since last summer.

Israeli sources said some arrests had been made after troops entered
the town in a column of armoured vehicles, without giving figures.
In the adjoining Ayda refugee camp they blew up the family home of
policeman Ali Munir Yussef Jihar, who killed 10 people when he blew
up a crowded bus on Thursday near the official residence of Israeli
Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

Bethlehem was one of the few places in the occupied West Bank from
which the army had withdrawn, handing it over last July to the
Palestinian Authority.
