CAIRO, April 23 (IslamOnline) – Israel may have used chemical weapons against the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, a Palestinians security member said Tuesday, citing the appearance of strange infections among Palestinians.
Sameeh al-Sabbagh, an officer with Unit 17, personal guard of Palestinian President Yasser Arafat, told IslamOnline, “Diseases started to spread among Palestinians, doctors are confused about strange infections and swelling”.
Al-Sabbagh, who came to Egypt to be treated from unknown symptoms himself, added, “What I suffer from, as well as many others back home, raised concerns Israel might have used internationally-banned chemical weapons, during its latest offensive against our armless people”.
The Palestinian captain urged all Arab countries to help the Palestinians and send supplies to hospitals there. “Hospitals in Palestine suffer severe shortages in medicines and equipment.”
The Israeli forces destroyed most of the Palestinian ambulances and fired rockets on hospitals, drawing vocal world condemnation. However, the Israeli aggressions against the Palestinians, amounting to a war of ethnic cleansing, is still going on.
However, all Palestinian sectors and resistance groups stand united behind their leader Arafat.
“All Israeli tactics of psychological and military intimidation will never break our will. The Palestinian people are determined to keep resisting the powers of evil and occupation till the last inch of our land is liberated.
“Israel destroyed all Palestinian police stations and centers, but we are ready to sacrifice our souls in defense of people and territories,” Al-Sabbagh concluded.
