GAZA (PIC)– The higher follow up committee of national and Islamic forces in Palestine has urged the PA security apparatuses to exercise greater control on the Palestinian street following Monday’s heinous crime in which four Palestinian children were gunned down at the hands of unknown armed men in Gaza city.
The committee statement on Monday expressed astonishment at the crime describing it as “alien to our people’s values and ethics”.
It asked officials of security apparatuses to swiftly uncover perpetrators and punish them for such a cold-blooded murder of innocent children three of whom were brothers.
In a related development a Palestinian citizen was shot and killed in Khan Younis city south of the Gaza Strip only hours after the children’s murder.
Security sources said that Jamal Freij Abu Salim 35 was killed in a shooting incident by gunmen in a Mercedes car in downtown Khan Younis.
Citizens in the Strip noted that the security deterioration over the past few days followed PA chief Mahmoud Abbas’ announcement of the failure of talks on formation of a unity government.
