WORLD : Israel Expels Gaza Camp Arabs
Israeli soldiers ordered about 20 Palestinians out of a refugee camp today and told them their homes would be demolished as punishment for the killing of a soldier.
Arab residents of the village, Bureij, said troops told them to remove their belongings from about 10 houses, 10 stores and a gasoline station near where Palestinians stoned and burned to death an Israeli reservist Thursday.
Witnesses said 200 residents of Bureij camp took part in stoning and burning to death reservist Amnon Pomerantz, 46, when he entered the camp apparently by mistake.
