Fatah official accuses Israel of refusing Palestinian prisoners shelter from rockets in plot "to wipe out and exterminate the ‎prisoners‎" - forgetting that rockets are fired by Palestinians

‎“Abu Ein noted that there are no suitable ‎shelters to guarantee the protection of the ‎Palestinian prisoners, and that they [the ‎shelters] are restricted, in a racist fashion, ‎solely for the [prison] administration and ‎prison guards, which constitutes a war ‎crime according to international law, for ‎which the Israeli government is ‎responsible, especially as the rockets are ‎falling in this region one after the other. ‎
Abu Ein disclosed that Israel may be ‎doing this intentionally in order to wipe out ‎and exterminate the prisoners, and ‎demanded that they be provided ‎protection quickly, either through their ‎transfer to safer areas or through their ‎immediate release.”‎
