Ramallah - "Jerusalem" dot com - The Palestinian Presidency condemned the new crime committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Aqabat Jaber camp in Jericho, at dawn today, Monday, which resulted in the death of five citizens and the injury of others.

The presidency affirmed that the commission of this crime in Jericho confirms that the new Israeli government is continuing its series of crimes against our Palestinian people.

The presidency considered that the crime of the occupation forces in Jericho is a challenge to all the international efforts that were made during the past days to stop the Israeli aggression.

She pointed out that the international silence on the occupation's violations and crimes encourages it to commit more massacres against Shabna.

It called on the international community, especially the US administration, to intervene and put pressure on the occupation government to stop its dangerous escalation, to spare the region more violence and tension, and to provide international protection for our people.
