GAZA, June
27 (Xinhuanet) -- Fatah movement chaired by Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat
held on Sunday Israel responsible for the current military escalation in the
West Bank.
The movement condemned the killing of eight Palestinians, including Nayef Abu Sharekh, commander of Fatah's armed wing Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades,
in the northern West Bank city of Nablus.
The Israeli army
raided the city at dawn on Thursday and carried out house-to-house searching,
killing at least 11 Palestinians since early Thursday.
The
latest attack took place Wednesday evening when a special Israeli force raided
one of Nablus old city's neighborhoods and shot dead at least eight
Palestinians, most them militants, including Abu Sharekh.
"The Israeli government and its army are fully responsible for this escalation
and they should carry on their shoulders the outcomes that would be a result of
this escalation," said Fatah movement in a leaflet.
"Such an
escalation is aiming at blowing and undermining all the international and Arab
efforts to get the region out of the cycle of conflict," it
added.
Fatah called on the international community, the
Quartet Committee and the United Nations Security Council to interfere as
immediate as possible "to stop the crazy violent massacres committed against the
innocent people." Enditem
