Summary

 

Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law in the oPt continued during the reporting period (11 – 17 September 2014).

 

 

Shooting:

 

In the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical source pronounced a member of an armed group dead of wounds he sustained on 11 July 2014, when an Israeli drone targeted a group of Palestinians east of Hamoudah gas station at the entrance of Beit Hanoun village. In that attack, a Palestinian was killed and 2 others were wounded.

 

On 17 September 2014, Israeli forces opened fire at a group of fishermen who were sailing near the border fence. As a result, a fisherman sustained a bullet wound to his right leg. The fishermen was standing 200 meters off the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel and giving directions to his sons who were fishing in a rowing boat.

 

In the context of chasing Palestinian fishermen in the sea, on 12 September 2014, Israeli gunboats stationed off al-Sudaniya shore and al-Waha resort, northwest of Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip opened fire at Palestinian fishing boats. Neither arrests nor material damage were reported. The shooting reoccurred once on 13 September 2014; 14 September 2014; and 17 Septembers 2014; and twice on 16 September 2014.

 

In the West Bank, 2 Palestinian civilians, including a child, were wounded during 2 other peaceful protests on Selwad – Yabroud road near street (60), northeast of Ramallah; and in Bab al-Zawiyah area, in the centre of Hebron.

 

Incursions:

 

During the reporting period, Israeli forces conducted at least 55 military incursions into Palestinian communities in the West Bank. During these incursions, Israeli forces arrested at least 40 Palestinians, including 9 children and a woman.  Nineteen of those civilians, including 7 children and a woman, were arrested in Jerusalem.

 

In the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces moved about 150 meters into the east of al-Qararah village, northeast of Khan Yunis. They levelled lands along the border between the Gaza Strip and Israel.

 

Restrictions on movement:

 

Israel continued to impose a tight closure of 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.

 

At least 3 Palestinian civilians were arrested at military checkpoints in the West Bank.

 

Settlement Activities

 

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

 

On 14 September 2014, Israeli forces bulldozed 2 dunums of agricultural land and uprooted 8 olive trees belonging to the heirs of the deceased Mahmoud Ali Hammad. 

 

On September 2014, Israeli forces confiscated a land belonging to the Palestinian Ministry of Public Work and Housing.

 

On 13 September 2014, Israeli settler sprayed pepper at 'Odai Naser Hamza Idrees (13) and Muhammad Makroum al-Nawaja (11).

 

On 14 September 2014, two Israeli settlers from "Mitzpe Yair" settlement attacked a shepherd from Qawawis village and two international volunteers who were with the shepherd and his sheep. The Israeli police arrived two hours later and arrested the shepherded and one of the volunteers under the pretext of throwing stones at settlers.

 

On 16 September 2014, a settler from "Sousia" settlement ran down a herd of sheep at the Bypass road near Iqweiwis village. As a result, 8 of them died.

 

 

4. Efforts to create a Jewish demographic majority in occupied East Jerusalem

 

During the reporting period, Israeli forces moved into various areas in Jerusalem and arrested 19 Palestinian civilians, including 7 children and a woman.
