Israeli forces contravene Fourth Geneva Convention: disallow ambulance to reach the wounded, 2 dead
(Nablus) Amin Abu Wardeh
Tuesday, 27 March 2007

Israeli forces killed 24 year old Muhanad Mreish and 26 year old Ala' Katiyef of the Fateh-linked Al Aqsa Brigades this morning. Israeli forces invaded Nablus' Old City at dawn Tuesday and the armed resistance responded.

Local sources report that military vehicles stormed the city during the early morning hours and besieged the Casbah. The armed resistance attempted to stave off the invasion near the blacksmith market which led to the injury of a large group of resistance fighters.

Medical sources told PNN that ambulance crews headed to the site and tried repeatedly to access the wounded. However, in direct contravention to the Fourth Geneva Convention, the Israeli soldiers forced them to stay away despite appeals from neighbors, medics and the injured themselves.

One of the medics said that a man was left bleeding for an hour and 15 minutes, eventually bleeding to death.

Among the leadership of Al Aqsa Brigades, Mahdi Abu Ghazaleh, said that assassination of activists continues along with invasions, despite public statements to the contrary. He said that the armed resistance will do whatever it can to respond in defense of the occupied population.
