International Solidarity Movement July 31, 2002 ISRAELI ARMY ATTACKS JENIN HOSPITAL [JENIN] The Israeli army, obviously not learning from the first time they did this, has once again rammed a utility pole. This time the military vehicle escaped unscathed, but has left the hospital without power. The wires, crackling with electricity, are hanging down at such an angle that ambulances have only a four inch clearance. Should the wires touch the vehicles they could kill the people inside. Medics have to make the tough decision of driving under these wires or keeping patients from the hospital. This continues the Israeli policy, especially in Jenin of attacking the civilian infrastructure. Activists also report that at 4am one building containing eight apartments was destroyed for no apparent reason. This leaves dozens more people homeless and increases the desperate humanitarian situation in Jenin. The International Solidarity Movement is opposed to the horrible and tragic civilian attacks happening in Israel and Palestine and call for an end to the Occupation as an end to the violence.
