NABLUS, April 18, 2006 (WAFA) - International Solidarity Movement (ISM) said Tuesday that the Israeli army has occupied three more buildings in Nablus.

ISM said in a press release that one of them is a brand new shopping mall which has not yet opened.

"The local youth are outside burning tyres in protest. This will have little effect on the soldiers who are at least 10 stories up. Despite this they are firing live ammunition. Yesterday's wounding of two boys has not deterred them in the least," it said.

It added that Israeli soldiers are recklessly and randomly firing live ammunition down onto an area crowded with market traders, women, children and workers.
