Israel Escalates Attack on Jenin, Blows Up 23 Homes on Residential Block
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas has called for an
emergency U.N. Security Council meeting to discuss Israel's escalating
attacks on Jenin in the occupied West Bank. On Saturday, Israeli forces
blew up an entire residential block of 23 homes in the Jenin refugee
camp. Israel's offensive has killed more than 50 Palestinians and
displaced more than 15,000. On Thursday, Palestine's Prime Minister
Mohammad Mustafa said Israel's attacks on the West Bank are a
"systematic effort to destroy the foundations of the Palestinian state."
