<p>Gaza – PNN – Two Palestinian workers were injured  when Israeli tanks fired shells at them near the northern Gaza–Israeli  borders on Tuesday morning.</p>
<p>Palestinian medics announced that tanks shelling made it difficult to reach the two injured men to evacuate them to a hospital.</p>
<p>Meanwhile  11 Palestinian civilians were arrested by Israeli troops during  pre-dawn invasions on Tuesday, which targeted a number of West Bank  communities. Ten of those arrested were from the village of Awarta in  northern west Bank. One man was arrested by Israeli soldiers after they  searched his home in al-Aroup refugee camp in southern west Bank.</p>

<p>The  Awarta village has been the location of military invasions since last  month&#8217;s killing of a settler family in the nearby Itamar settlement. The  motivation and the attackers of Itamar remain unknown.</p>
<p>Also  on Tuesday morning Israeli troops invaded Jenin refugee camp and raided  the Freedom Theatre. Freedom Theatre Founder Juliano Mer-Khamis was  shot dead near his home in Jenin on Monday afternoon. Witnesses told  local media that troops stormed the theater in early hours of Tuesday  morning, searched it, and took documents and photos form the site.  Soldiers also searched nearby homes.</p>
<p>Palestinian  security sources said that since last night the Israeli army has  installed military checkpoints on roads leading in and out of the city  and are searching Palestinian cars.</p>
<p>Since 2006, Khamis ran the Freedom Theatre in Jenin, a theatre and cultural centre in the Jenin Refugee Camp.</p>
<p>The  commander of Jenin district Colonel Radi Assida told PNN that the  killing is targeting the conditions of stability and security that the  residents of Jenin have been enjoying for the last two years:   &#8221;An  unidentified masked man stopped Mer-Khamis&#8217;s car in the street near his  residence in the refugee camp and opened fire from a close range,  killing him and injuring a female Palestinian who also works in the  Freedom Theatre.&#8221; Assida told PNN, &#8220;This attack is not an attack on  Juliano alone, it is targeting the peace and security that has existed  here for two years.&#8221;</p>
