Identical letters dated 15 February 2002 from the Chargé d’affaires a.i.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

of the Permanent Observer Mission of Palestine to the United Nations<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

addressed to the Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council <\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  Israel, the occupying Power, continues with its bloody military campaign against the Palestinian people in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, including Jerusalem, committing still more war crimes and State terrorism. In the early morning hours of today, 15 February 2002 (Palestine time), Israeli occupying forces used tanks, armoured personnel carriers and bulldozers to enter several Palestinian towns, destroying a Palestinian home and destroying Palestinian farmland. Moreover, in Saida, a Palestinian town to the north-east of Tulkarem in the West Bank, Israeli occupying forces committed yet another extrajudicial execution, killing Mr. Anwar Awni Abdel Ghani. Also today, Israeli F-16 warplanes attacked a Palestinian security compound in the Jabilaya refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, killing one Palestinian officer and injuring many other Palestinians, some of them critically.<\/p><\/div>\n

\n

  All of the above-mentioned Israeli war crimes and acts of State terrorism affirm yet again that Mr. Ariel Sharon and his Government want only to pursue the path of military confrontation, escalating the violence and compounding the human losses and physical destruction. We reiterate that the international community must stand up to such Israeli policies and practices and must take measures to bring an end to Israeli war crimes, State terrorism and other atrocities committed against the Palestinian people.<\/p><\/div>\n
