"Mr President, I would like to draw your attention, as corroborated by accounts in the Israeli and foreign press, to the fact that the Tulkarem refugee camp was invaded early on Wednesday morning by Israeli forces. The soldiers ordered all men and boys between 15 and 55 to leave their homes and congregate at two locations in the camp. There they were kept for many hours and interrogated one by one. The army detained 11 men who were said to be wanted terrorists. The other men and boys were then loaded on to buses and lorries which took them several kilometres outside Tulkarem, where they were told to get off and forbidden to go back to their homes for the next three days. The army left them there with nothing but the clothes on their backs, making no provision of any kind for their three days of enforced exile. Meanwhile some of the women of the Tulkarem refugee camp came to bring food and basic provisions to their husbands, brothers and sons, but then found that the soldiers would not let them back into the camp and they too became displaced. An Israeli army colonel has taken public responsibility for this action, which is obviously against the fourth Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a signatory. He has declared it to be a good and successful action with satisfactory results."@en1
