July 26, 2006

Gaza- Ma'an- The Palestinian government issued an urgent appeal on Wednesday to all the international and humanitarian organizations asking them to put pressure on the Israeli government in order to stop the Israeli targeting of civilians, residential homes and governmental institutions which are violations of international resolutions.

Palestinian governmental spokesman, Ghazi Hamad, told the press: "In addition to its crazy destruction and killing, Israel also carries out a psychological war against the Palestinians through threatening to bomb residential homes and governmental properties".

Hamad said that the aim of such policies is to pressure the Palestinians into leaving their houses and to paralyze the government, and so create a state of fear amongst the citizens.
