Palestinian Information Center
June 1, 2008
GAZA, (PIC)-- International Tadamun (solidarity) society for human rights reported that the IOF troops killed 45 Palestinian citizens during last May including five children and two women, adding that most of the victims were murdered in the Gaza Strip.
In a monthly report received by the PIC, the society said that this large number of victims in one month clearly indicates that the Israeli occupation is persistent in its aggression through pursuing the policy of execution and assassination against the Palestinians despite it is proscribed by international conventions and charters.
Tadamun expressed its deep concern over this high number of victims killed by Israel in Gaza, considering what is happening part of the Israeli policy of ethnic cleansing and war crimes against humanity.
The society called on all parties concerned with human rights to urgently intervene to stop the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza and the West Bank through pressuring Israel to cease its aggression and violations against the Palestinian people there.
For its part, the Palestinian center for the defense of prisoners revealed Sunday that the IOF troops kidnapped last month 372 Palestinians including 32 children during 96 raids in different areas of Gaza and the West Bank.
The center underlined in its monthly report, a copy of which was received by the PIC, that the province of northern Gaza topped the other Palestinian provinces in the number of detainees where the number there reached 79 kidnapped Palestinians.
