Islamic Jihad Movement in Palestine said Monday that decades of international inaction and failure to prosecute those responsible for the 1982 Sabra and Shatila massacre, despite overwhelming evidence, emboldened new perpetrators within the Israeli occupation to commit crimes against Palestinians, Shehab Wire reported. The movement linked the historical impunity to ongoing violations in Gaza.
The statement marked commemorations of the refugee camp killings in Lebanon, where thousands of Palestinian and Lebanese civilians were killed during Israel's 1982 invasion.
