Now back to the Middle East. Israeli forces have raided a Tulkarm refugee camp killing five Palestinians, three of them unarmed teenagers. Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas accused Israel of sabotaging prospects for peace, while Palestinian fighters in Gaza fired rockets into Israel in retaliation. Witnesses said three of the dead were unarmed teenagers and two were fighters, one from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed faction of the Fatah movement, and the other from Islamic Jihad. The killings come as Israel finished scrapping all 21 settlements in Gaza and four of 120 in the West Bank this week.
