The ICJ condemns the bomb attack at Beit Lid bus stop junction. The “Islamic Jihad” claimed responsibility for this act which resulted in the killing of 18 Israeli soldiers and one civilian, and injured tens of other persons.
The ICJ is concerned about the potential repercussions of this attack. The ICJ already calls on the Government of Israel to exercise maximum restraint and avoid taking disproportionate and collective action against Palestinian civilians for acts they did not commit. The ICJ urges all parties to put an immediate end to the violence.
