The spokesman for the Palestinian government, Ibrahim Melhem, has denounced that the “bloodshed continues throughout the country” and that the Israeli forces “continue to commit their crimes without the slightest respect for international laws or human norms.” “While the blood of the victims – children and young people – has not dried in Jenin in the morning, new wounds have opened in Husan at night,” Melhem said.
