Thousands of Palestinians Celebrate West Bank Evacuations
(AFP/Yahoo) Whipping up a Palestinian crowd in the former Jewish settlement of Kadim near Jenin in the northern West Bank, local Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades leader Zakaria al-Zubeidi promised Wednesday that "the resistance would continue until the liberation of all occupied Palestinian territory." Israeli troops left Kadim on Tuesday, thereby completing Prime Minister Sharon's disengagement plan. "By retreating from the Jenin settlements, Israel has fled the battlefield," shouted Zubeidi, as dozens of armed men fired into the air. Palestinian culture minister Yehya Yakhlaf said: "Today Jenin, tomorrow Jerusalem."
