Israeli Army Enters Qalqilya in West Bank Sun Mar 31, 3:30 PM ET JERUSALEM (Reuters) - Israeli tanks rolled into the West Bank town of Qalqilya Sunday, Palestinian security sources and residents said, two days after storming into Ramallah and laying siege to Yasser Arafat (news - web sites)'s headquarters there. Palestinians said about 100 tanks and other armored vehicles entered the town from four directions and were close to the city center. Residents said they could hear explosions from occasional shelling and heavy machinegun fire. Resident said electricity was cut off to the town, located in the northwestern part of the West Bank on the "green line" border with Israel. The incursion came hours after Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon accused Arafat, the Palestinian president, of leading a campaign of "terror" against Israel and saying the government would wage an "uncompromising war" to crush it. An Israeli army spokesman declined to confirm or deny the reports about Qalqilya, saying the army did not discuss details of operational moves. But an Israeli security source said an incursion into Qalqilya had been planned for Sunday evening. story.news.yahoo.com
