Israeli Tanks Enter Occupied West Bank, Soldiers Kill 2 Palestinian Children in Mounting Assault
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Israel has sent tanks into the occupied West Bank for the first time in
20 years as the Israeli military escalates its assault that has already
displaced 40,000 Palestinians. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz said
Palestinians living in the Jenin, Tulkarm and Nur Shams refugee camps
will not be allowed to return to their homes. On Friday, Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the occupied West Bank and was
photographed holding a meeting inside a Palestinian home that had been
seized by the Israeli military.

On Saturday, Israeli forces fatally shot two Palestinian children - one
12, the other 13 - in separate incidents. We will go to the West Bank
later in the show.
