The Israeli occupation army assault on Balata refugee camp in Nablus at dawn today, which resulted in the killing of three Palestinians and the wounding of six others, is a real massacre and a continuation of the all-out war Israel is waging against the Palestinian people, today said Nabil Abu Rudeineh, the official spokesman for the Palestinian presidency
‘The continuous aggression against the city of Nablus, its villages and camps by the occupation forces and extremist settlers is a major war crime and collective punishment that must be put to an end immediately,’ he said, holding the Israeli occupation government fully responsible for this continuous dangerous escalation that targets the people, their lands and their sanctities.
He pointed out that the silence of the US administration on these crimes encouraged Israel to persist in its aggression, calling on it to intervene immediately to put a stop ‘to the Israeli madness that will drag the region towards an explosion.’
The Israeli army killed 39 Palestinians in Nablus alone since the start of the year, and 156 in all the occupied territories, including 36 in the Gaza Strip.
