“It's a barbaric situation by the Israeli occupying forces in which they used aircrafts. They used large number of forces and infantry's and mechanized units to attack this small refugee camp. And they wanted to destroy the camp completely and they failed to do so. But they created a lot of suffering for our people.”
7. SOUNDBITE (English) Riyad Mansour, Permanent Observer to the United Nations, Palestine:
“We want accountability for those who have committed the crimes of firing the rockets and destroying the homes in the refugee camp in Jenin and killing and injuring large number of Palestinians, including children and women and civilians, to be held accountable and to face the crimes that they have committed against the Palestinian people. Because without accountability, they will continue repeating these heinous crimes against the Palestinian people.”
