rienced a curfew. Armed patrols of Zionist settlers have multiplied and they have intensified their aggression against Palestinians, destroying their homes and property. 46. On 5 and 6 September the Israeli military occupation authorities imposed administrative detention on another 24 Palestinians, in accordance with the notorious proce- dures of 4 August. They also blew up several houses in Al-Khalil on 5 September, and they reimposed the curfew on the city. Groups of Palestinians were fired upon. Large numbers of citizens of the city were arrested. Thus, the Israeli occupation authorities have inflicted mass punish- ment, in violation of international norms, rules and resolu- tions. Those actions were repeated, in the city of Gaza, where the occupation authorities continued their oppres- sion on’7 and 8 September, when the border guards were replaced by the Fascist paratroopers. Those forces imme- diately implemented their brutal practices of oppression against our people in Gaza, Jenin, Nablus, Al-Khalil and other cities, which led to their opening fire in Al-Khalil directly on four children, who were seriously wounded. Those forces attacked the civilian population in the streets, beating them and abusing them and their property, which caused terror among the civilian population. 47. That escalation was preceded by official statements by the Israeli Government and by Rabin in person threat- ening the PLO with attacks on all its headquarters and oflices, including those in Amman and Tunisia. 48. On 9 August the occupation authorities carried out another 20 administrative detentions. The situation has become very grave in the occupied territories as a result of the escalation of collective acts of aggression and the increased provocation by the Israeli settlers in the Pales- tinian cities. The occupation authorities closed down a press office in Jerusalem, in accordance with the notorious decisions of 4 August.
