"According to the report, Palestinians discovered the waste after “nauseating and choking” odors spread around the area of the Tulkarm refugee camp.

Tulkarm Municipality medical teams and representatives from the Palestinian Authority’s health ministry rushed to the scene and found barrels of chemical waste. The Palestinians took samples of the waste for examination and to help determine the scope of damage it could have caused.

The Palestinian ministry of the environment’s district manager, Atsam Kassem told the paper that the barrels contained sulfur and other dangerous chemicals."

"Israel did it!"
