Israeli Forces Enter Arafat's HQ By Hadeel Wahdan Associated Press Writer Friday, March 29, 2002; 1:06 AM RAMALLAH, West Bank –– Israeli forces entered Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's headquarters on Friday and exchanged fire with his security guards, Palestinian officials said. The raid came as Israel's Cabinet formally declared Arafat an enemy and said it would isolate him, in response to a string of attacks on Israeli civilians by Palestinian militants. Israeli Defense Minister Binyamin Ben-Eliezer said Israel had no intention to harm Arafat physically, while Prime Minister Ariel Sharon left open the possibility that Arafat could be expelled from the West Bank at a later stage. Early Friday, Israeli troops entered the walled compound in the West Bank town of Ramallah, to which Arafat has been confined by Israel since December. Palestinian officials said there were exchanges of fire just steps from Arafat's office, and that Israeli soldiers demanded over loudspeaker that Arafat's security guards surrender. Other officials said the walls of Arafat's compounds were shelled by Israeli tanks, and that parts of the compound were on fire. Sharon confirmed in a news conference that Israeli forces were inside Arafat's compound, but would not give details of the Israeli operation. © 2002 The Associated Press washingtonpost.com
