3月14日付け、「ABC」ニュースが伝えたところによると、パレスチナのジェリコの刑務所にイスラエル軍が戦車、ヘリコプター、ブルドーザーなどを使って突入。刑務所をぶち壊し、中にいたイスラエル人閣僚暗殺犯と見られているパレスチナ人過激派グループのリーダーとその仲間達を連れ出したとのこと。
イスラエル選挙に向けての強攻策と見られる。これに反発したパレスチナ人たちは、約10時間にわたって、ガザ地区にあるイギリス領事館やその他の英米関連の建物を襲撃、韓国人記者を含む10人の外国人を拉致したとのこと。

Israel Seizes Jailed Palestinian Militants
By SARAH EL DEEB
JERICHO, West Bank Mar 14, 2006 (AP)— Israeli troops using tanks, helicopters and bulldozers pounded a Palestinian-run prison in the West Bank on Tuesday to seize a Palestinian militant leader and his accomplices in the assassination of an Israeli Cabinet minister.
The dramatic 10-hour standoff ignited an unprecedented spasm of violence against foreigners across the Palestinian areas. Aid workers, teachers and journalists took refuge at Palestinian security headquarters in Gaza as militants attacked offices linked to the U.S. and Europe, burning cars and torching the British Council building in Gaza City.
Gunmen kidnapped at least 10 foreigners, including an American teacher; after nightfall, three were still in captivity two French citizens and a South Korean journalist. Three Palestinians were killed in the prison raid.
It was the most widespread violence since Hamas militants swept Palestinian parliamentary elections Jan. 25 and could foreshadow broader confrontations between Israel and the Palestinians.
Angry Palestinians blamed the British and Americans for the raid, because British monitors left the jail 20 minutes before the Israelis arrived Tuesday morning.
Israel denied coordinating the attack with the U.S. or Britain. It said recent statements by Palestinian officials and Hamas leaders of plans to release its most-wanted prisoners, combined with the withdrawal of the monitors, forced it to act.
The assault on the jail came amid a breakdown in a 4-year-old deal among the Palestinians, Israel, the United States and Britain over the guarding of the prisoners, and it underscored the wider collapse of relations between Israel and the Palestinians since Hamas' victory at the polls.
British and American officials said they had complained repeatedly to the Palestinians about security conditions at the prison and threatened in a letter last week a copy of which was sent to Israel to remove their monitoring teams if things did not improve immediately. By chance, U.S. team was not on duty Tuesday.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, cutting short a European trip to deal with the crisis, blamed the Americans and the British for violating the agreement by withdrawing the monitors without telling him.
