The ICJ deplores yesterday’s outrageous killing of civilians in Tel Aviv which claimed 22 Israeli lives and tens of other injured persons.
Those responsible for such an act should be brought to justice.
The ICJ is concerned over the potential consequences of this shocking killing. In retaliation, other innocent lives might be targeted. The ICJ calls upon all parties to end the vicious circle of violence.
The ICJ condemns the two recent attacks on Israeli civilians in Israel. Yesterday’s bombing of a bus stop in Khadera killed five Israelis and wounded at least thirty others.
Last week, a similar attack in Afula killed seven Israelis and wounded forty-three. The Hamas group has claimed responsibility for both bombings.
Such outrageous acts of violence against civilians senselessly aggravate the already tense situation. Human life is sacred. In this transitional period, the ICJ calls for self-restraint and the absolute respect of human rights.
Today, the ICJreleased the findings of its mission to Israel and the Occupied Territories concerning the Hebron Massacre and aftermath.
The ICJ deplores the outrageous massacre of at least 53 Palestinians in Hebron, in the Occupied Territories, early this morning.
Over 100 Palestinians were wounded, some of them seriously, and, therefore, the death toll is bound to increase.
The ICJ is alarmed over the potential consequences of the massacre and urges the Israeli military authorities to exercise maximum restraint in the coming hours. Already, at least 8 more Palestinians were killed by the army in separate incidents, following this tragic event.
The Palestinians were killed when an Israeli settler in military uniform opened fire on the worshippers inside the AI-Haram AI-Ibrahimi Mosque in Hebron in the early hours of the morning.
The ICJ has always maintained that the Israeli settlements in the Occupied Territories are not only illegal but, also, constitute a threat to peace and security in the region.
The ICJ reiterates its concern that the systematic arming of Israeli settlers in the Occupied Territories sets the stage for this act of inhumanity.
The ICJ said today that the on-going Israeli raids on the South of Lebanon contravene the principles of international law.
