Background:

The Israeli army has escalated its military aggression against the Palestinians in various parts of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to unprecedented levels since the killing of right-wing Israeli minister Rahba’am Ze’evi on Wednesday October 17th, 2001.

While it was confirmed that the Israeli authorities arrested 4 Palestinians from Jerusalem on charges of carrying out the attack, the Israeli government has escalated its military offensive against civilian Palestinian areas, thus exploiting the situation to carry out a premeditated plan to further strangulate Palestinian areas, and unleash harsh military measures against a captive Palestinian population.

Since Thursday October 18th, the Israeli army has carried out incursions into 8 different Palestinian cities and towns (Ramallah, Al-Bireh, Qalqilia, Tulkarem, Jenin, Bethlehem, Beit Jala, and Beit Sahur), killing a total of 29 Palestinians, including women and children, and destroying a number of residential and commercial buildings.

It must be cautioned that the recent measures adopted by Ariel Sharon’s government raise grave concerns, not only regarding the underlying effects and implications of the deteriorating political process, but also on the individual security and well-being of every Palestinian citizen.
