GAZA, Palestine, April 11, 2005 (IPC)---The Brigadier General Mossa Arafat, director general of the Palestinian security service refuted yesterday the Israeli allegations through the mass media that the Palestinian security services lost security control over the situation, south Gaza Strip.
In a press release, a copy of which made available to IPC, Arafat said the reports by the Israeli media are categorically baseless, pointing out that the Palestinian security forces assumed its duties on more perfect despite of the Israeli frequent aggressions within the late 24 hours.
The statement added that the Israeli occupation troops opened fire at five Palestinian children on Saturday nearby the border line with Egypt; instead, the Israeli troops should coordinate with the Palestinian security services and avoid shooting fire and killing three of them while the two others managed to flee the Israeli fire intensively directed at Al Shaut neighborhood, next to the border line in Rafah.
Arafat note, in the statement, due to the heavily firing at all the areas adjacent to the Israeli colonies south the Strip, a case of anarchy overwhelmed the Palestinian security troops, but as soon as possible they cop the situation and re-organized themselves and regain control over all areas.
The Israeli official remarks about the lawlessness and lose of control by the Palestinian security services are a predetermined Israeli plot to widespread untrue rumors against the Palestinian National Authority and its officials, accusing it of default and claiming that the PNA official statements contradicts in the field.
Arafat accused the Israeli prime minister Arial Sharon of an intention to fade out the talks on track at the oval house regarding the latest colonial expansion by turning the overture, casting accusation against the PNA that it will not fulfill its duties in order to repudiate from Sharm Al Sheikh understandings, mandating the Israeli hand back five Palestinian cities of the West Bank.
