We shall always do our best to verify the accuracy of all items in these IOP newsletters/reports wherever possible [e.g. we often suspect that names of people and places that we see in the PMG sitreps could be typos; also the translation into English seems rather odd ~ but sincewe, sadly, do not speak Arabic, we have no alternative but to copy and paste these names from the PMG sitreps!] – please forgive us for any errors or omissions – Leslie and Marian.
Dear Friends,
We are so sorry that we have to, reluctantly, cease editing the translations we use of the Palestinian Monitoring Group (PMG) daily reports into English. A combination of the unforeseen scale of growth in attacks and population-control by Israel in the West Bank, on top of the genocidal tragedy Israel has unleashed upon the Gaza Strip is resulting in a constant build-up of PMG reports that we may never be able catch up on.
Therefore, with that and other difficulties, we shall straight away post this latest, partly-edited, report. From then onwards, we intend to catch up by posting remaining, as well as future, reports as unedited (by us) translations.
With sincere apologies for this drop in our standards!
Leslie and Marian
