Israeli Troops Enter Ramallah Hours Before Sharon Bush Meeting
Israeli tanks and troops moved into Ramallah around sunrise surrounding Yasser Arafat’s compound and arresting 20 suspected militants as part of a wider search in the city. The raid came hours before Ariel Sharon was set to meet President Bush at the White House amid ongoing Mideast tensions. Palestinian police later arrested Islamic Jihad leader Sheik Abdullah Shami in Gaza City following the group’s Wednesday attack that killed 17 Israelis. Arafat remained inside the Ramallah compound, unharmed, as the raid targeted militants and prevented gunmen from sheltering there.
