Palestinian condemn ongoing Israeli operation in Nablus

Israel has expanded a massive military operation in the northern West Bank city of Nablus on Saturday and placed the city centre under curfew. On the operation's third day, Israeli soldiers
arrested six Palestinians and made house-to-house searches.

US President George W Bush will visit Israel and the Palestinian territories next week in an attempt
to boost peace initiatives from November's international conference in Annapolis, Maryland.
