formed of certain matters which I am obliged to draw to your attention. It has been reported that, on 10 March 1983, Israeli soldiers in full military uniform were discovered and prevented from detonating explosives intended for the destruction of the AI-Aqsa Mosque. On a previous occasion, on 4 March, a time bomb was discovered at one of the gates of the same Mosque which had been set to explode at the end of Friday noon prayers. In further activities, Israeli troops wounded a Pales­ tinian youth as they opened fire on Palestinian demon­ strators in Jerusalem on 12 March. On that occasion, a Palestinian woman and her five children were beaten by the Israeli troops for offering aid to the wounded youth. On the same date, in the Shufat refugee camp, north of Jerusalem, Israeli troops broke into the local school, attacked students and beat them _severely. In Hebron, the Israeli occupation authorities ordered the closing of the Polytechnic Institute in retaliation for previous student participation in demonstration against the occupation. Al-Khalil University and schools in Halhoul, Yatta, Beit Sahour and Nablus were also ordered closed. In Yatta, on 16 March, it was reported that Israeli settlers were continuing to terrorize the population in the oc­ cupied territories. Booby-trap bombs were discovered at the gate of the Haifa High School in the town of Jenin which were fortunately discovered and deto­ nated. On 17 March, it was reported that Israeli occupation troops opened fire on Palestinian anti-occupation demonstrators in Beit Sahour. One school was ordered closed until further notice, bringing the number of schools in the Bethlehem area closed by the Israeli occupation authorities to five. At the same time, curfews remain on Palestinian refugee camps and Israeli troops have taken particu­ lai ly brutal measures against the Dheiseh Camp.
