During the reporting period, a number of wounded persons died of wounds they sustained during the offensive.

   

During the reporting period, a Palestinian baby died because of tear gas inhalation in occupied Jerusalem, as Israeli forces fired tear gas canisters to disperse the Palestinian protesters in al-Tour Mountain, east of the city. Moreover, 2 civilians, including a woman and a child, died of wounds they sustained during the latest Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, while hundreds of wounded Palestinians have been receiving medical treatment in hospitals in the West Bank and Gaza Strip and other hospitals abroad for the seriousness of their wounds. In the meanwhile, Israeli forces violated the truce several times by opening fire at Palestinian fishing boats sailing within the allowed fishing area and arresting a number of fishermen.    

 

A Palestinian baby died in Jerusalem because of tear gas inhalation when Israeli forces were dispersing Palestinian protesters in al-Tour Mountain, east of the city, while 4 other civilians, including a woman and a child, died of wounds they sustained during the latest Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip.

On 02 September 2014, Israeli forces stationed at "Eyal" checkpoint, north of Qalqilya, opened fire at a jeep with an Israeli registration plate driving through the checkpoint. As a result, 2 civilians, who had no permits to enter Israel, were wounded. The wound of one of them was serious. The 2 persons were arrested and taken to Israeli hospitals for medical treatment.

 

On 03 September 2014, a Palestinian adult and a child were wounded when Israeli forces moved into Nablus, as a group of youngsters gathered and threw stones at Israeli soldiers. The Israeli forces surrounded a 3-storey house and shelled a wall in the building, while opened fire at the second floor. Israeli forces claimed there was a wanted person hiding in the building, but it was proved untrue.

 

Israeli forces used excessive force against peaceful protests organised by Palestinian civilians, international and Israeli human rights defenders in protest at the construction of the annexation wall and settlement activities in the West Bank. As a result, a reporter of Palestine TV was hit by a tear gas canister to the right side while covering Bil’in weekly protest, west of Ramallah. Many other civilians suffered tear gas inhalation and 2 international solidarity activists were arrested in the same protest.

 

In the Gaza Strip, medical sources in Palestine Hospital in Egypt declared that Wedad Abu Zaid died on 29 August 2014 because of wounds she sustained during the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip on 29 July 2014.

On 01 September 2014, Israeli gunboats stationed off al-Waha resort opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats. They arrested 2 fishermen and confiscated their fishing boat and net. There has been no information so far about the destination to which they were taken so far.

 

Incursions:

 

During the reporting period, Israeli forces conducted at least 77 military incursions into Palestinian communities in the West Bank. During these incursions, Israeli forces arrested at least 60 Palestinians, including 5 children.  Fourteen of these civilians were arrested in Jerusalem.

 

On 03 September 2014, Israeli forces moved into Nablus. They surrounded a 3-storey building that is rented by a charitable society and a sport club. They shelled a wall in the building and opened fire at the second floor under the pretext there was a wanted person hiding inside, but there was no body in. A few hours later, Israeli forces moved into the city and raided al-Zahra’ building in al-Ma’ajeen neighbourhood. They raided an apartment belonging to Ahmed Ali Ahmed Ali Ahmed (75), Member of the Palestinian Legislative Council for the Change and Reform Bloc. They bombed the apartment’s door and those of other apartments under the pretext of looking for Ahmed.

 

Restrictions on movement:

 

Israel continued to impose a tight closure on the oPt, imposing severe restrictions on the movement of Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem.

 

The illegal closure of the Gaza Strip, which has been steadily tightened since June 2007 has had a disastrous impact on the humanitarian and economic situation in the Gaza Strip.  The Israeli authorities impose measures to undermine the freedom of trade, including the basic needs for the Gaza Strip population and the agricultural and industrial products to be exported. For 7 consecutive years, Israel has tightened the land and naval closure to isolate the Gaza Strip from the West Bank, including occupied Jerusalem, and other countries around the world. This resulted in grave violations of the economic, social and cultural rights and a deterioration of living conditions for 1.7 million people.  The Israeli authorities have established Karm Abu Salem (Kerem Shaloum) as the sole crossing for imports and exports in order to exercise its control over the Gaza Strip’s economy.  They also aim at imposing a complete ban on the Gaza Strip’s exports.

 

 

Israeli forces have continued to impose severe restrictions on the movement of Palestinian civilians throughout the West Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem. Thousands of Palestinian civilians from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip continue to be denied access to Jerusalem.

 

As part of using military checkpoints and border crossings as traps to arrest Palestinian civilians under the pretext they are wanted, Israeli forces arrested 9 Palestinian civilians, including 3 children and a woman, at military checkpoints in the West Bank.

 

Efforts to create Jewish majority

 

On 28 August 2014, Israeli forces bulldozed 5 residential barracks and 3 animal barracks belonging to Saidi and al-Jahalin families. They also destroyed a cow shed belonging to Muahmmed Abu al-Hawa in Zaim village, east of Jerusalem after Civil Administration staffs and Israeli forces raided the aforementioned village. The affected families confirmed that the lands in question belong to them and that they have lived in them since the 1950s.

 

On 03 September 2014, Israeli forces accompanied by bulldozers and the Israeli municipality's staff moved into Beit Hanina neighborhood, north of Jerusalem. They surrounded residential buildings belonging to Izz Abu Nijma, and started bulldozing under the pretext of not having a construction license.

 

The Israeli construction and planning committee approved the construction of a religious school in al-Sheikh Jarah neighborhood in Jerusalem. The committee had approved the plan last February. According to the construction plan (68858), a building of 12 floors will be built on an area of 1.9 dunums out of 4 dunums. The building will include a religious school, residential rooms, and gymnasiums. 1The project is located behind Nasif gas station and al-Hayat medical center. The land was confiscated in the 1980s allegedly because it was absentees’ property.

 

Settlement activities

 

Israel has continued its settlement activities in the oPt, in a direct violation of international humanitarian law, and Israeli settlers have continued to attack Palestinian civilians and property.

 

Attacks carried out by Israeli forces

 

On 31 August 2014, Israeli forces backed by several military vehicles and a vehicle for the construction and organization department in the Israeli Civil Administration, raided the western area of Surif village, west of Hebron. The Civil Administration officers distributed notices claiming the confiscation of 3,799 dunums of Surif village and the villages of Bethlehem (al-Jaba’a, Nahlin, and Wadi Fokin) after dividing them to 10 squares, according to the notices which were signed by the official of the government and the absentees’ properties in Judea and Samaria.

 

On the same day, Israeli forces backed by 3 military vehicles moved into al-Rahwa area, west of al-Zahrya village, west of Hebron. Israeli forces deployed in the area while the bulldozer destroyed a number of houses under the pretext of having no construction permit to build in the areas classified as "C" according to the 1993 Oslo Accord.

 

On 02 September 2014, Israeli forces, backed by several military vehicles, a vehicle of the construction and organization department in the Israeli Civil Administration, 2 bulldozers, a GCB bulldozer and a digger, moved into Haram al-Rama in the eastern area in Hebron. They surrounded al-Rahma factory for dairies, which is part of al-Rayyan cow farm which is one of the branches of the Islamic Philanthropist Society in Hebron. Israeli soldiers deployed in the area while the bulldozers started destroying the 350m2 factory and the 7-dunum farm under the pretext of having no construction permit to build in the areas classified as "C" according to the 1993 Oslo Accord.

 

On the same day, Israeli forces bulldozed a 70-square-meter, tin-made barrack which was used as a carwash. Later, they bulldozed another 40-square-meter tin barrack which was used as a pottery factory.

 

On 03 September 2014, Israeli forces demolished 2 residential tents in al-Rakheem valley, south of Yatta, south of Hebron.

 

Attacks carried out by settlers

 

On 28 August 2014, Israeli settlers from "Beit Ain" settlement which is established on confiscated lands west of Beit Ummar village, north of Hebron, smashed the branches of 30 olive and almond trees belonging to Abdel Hamid Bright (78) in Abu Rish area.

 

On 28 August 2014, 2 Israeli extremists attacked Ziad Musa al-Qawasmi (48), a Palestinian taxi driver when he was driving in one of the streets in Jerusalem.

 

On 31 August 2014, 3 settlers tried to kidnap Ahlam Awad Muhei Awadallah (26) when she was returning to her house in Shufat. Her husband, Muahmmed Awadallah told PCHR that 3 extremist settlers were driving a Mitsubishi car. The stopped the car near her when she was walking towards her house in al-Sahel neighborhood in Shufat. They verbally attacked her and tried to grab her and pull her into the car. They failed to do as residents of the area intervened.
