  • Israel and the Occupied Territories 2014 Human
    ISRAEL 2014 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Israel is a multi-party parliamentary democracy. Although it has no constitution, the parliament, the unicameral 120-member Knesset, has enacted a series of “Basic Laws” that enumerate fundamental rights. Certain fundamental laws, orders, and regulations legally depend on the existence of a “State of Emergency,” which has been in effect since 1948. Under the Basic Laws, the Knesset has the power to dissolve the government and mandate elections. The nationwide Knesset elections in January 2013, considered free and fair, resulted in a coalition government led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Security forces reported to civilian authorities. (An annex to this report covers human rights in the occupied territories. This report deals with human rights in Israel and the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.) During the year a number of developments affected both the Israeli and Palestinian populations. From July 8 to August 26, Israel conducted a military operation designated as Operation Protective Edge, which according to Israeli officials responded to increases in the number of rockets deliberately fired from Gaza at Israeli civilian areas beginning in late June, as well as militants’ attempts to infiltrate the country through tunnels from Gaza. According to publicly available data, Hamas and other militant groups fired 4,465 rockets and mortar shells into Israel, while the government conducted 5,242 airstrikes within Gaza and a 20-day military ground operation in Gaza. According to the United Nations, the operation killed 2,205 Palestinians. The Israeli government estimated that half of those killed were civilians and half were combatants, according to an analysis of data, while the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs recorded 1,483 civilian deaths--more than two-thirds of those killed--including 521 children and 283 women; 74 persons in Israel were killed, among them 67 combatants, six Israeli civilians, and one Thai civilian.

  • 23 November 2020
    3 - 23 November 2020 Latest development (outside the reporting period) On 25 November, citing the lack of building permits, the Israeli authorities demolished 11 Palestinian-owned structures in the Massafer Yatta area of southern Hebron. These included homes, livelihood-related structures and water and sanitation facilities, some of which had been previously provided as humanitarian assistance. Twenty-five people were displaced and over 700 were otherwise affected. All but one of the seven communities targeted are located in an area designated closed for military training, and are at risk of a forcible transfer. This report exceptionally covers three weeks; the next issue will be released on 10 December, covering the normal two-week period. During the reporting period (3-23 November), a total of 129 structures were demolished, or seized, due to a lack of Israeli-issued building permits, displacing 100 people and otherwise affecting at least 200. The largest incident took place on 3 November in , where 83 structures were destroyed, displacing 73 people, including 41 children. Thirty more structures were demolished in 12 other Area C communities. The remaining 16 took place in East Jerusalem, where demolitions have resumed after a three-week suspension, following an announcement by the Israeli authorities on 1 October that, due to the pandemic, they would stop the demolition of inhabited residential buildings in the city. More structures have been demolished or seized so far in 2020, than in any complete year since OCHA began systematically documenting this practice in 2009, with the exception of 2016. On 4 November, Israeli forces shot and killed an off-duty member of the Palestinian security forces at a checkpoint south of Nablus city, reportedly after he opened fire at soldiers.

Ehab al-Qet, a member of Madama Village Council, told the Palestinian News & Info Agency (WAFA), that the colonists attacked the southern area of the village, before local youngsters incepted them and started throwing stones at them. He added that many soldiers were in the area with the colonists and started firing a barrage of gas bombs at the villagers, causing dozens to suffer the effects of teargas inhalation. Al-Qet also said that the colonists set many olive trees ablaze, while the soldiers prevented the Palestinians from reaching their orchards to extinguish the fire.

  • Israel Cuts Off Water Supply to North West Bank V1
    “Cut off water supply to North areas during Ramadan is new evidence on Israel’s violation against basic human Palestinian needs” As of the beginning of June this year, and without any prior notification during the Islamic holy month of Ramadan, and at the time of frequent hot summer heat waves where demand on water increases naturally, the Israeli water carrier Mekorot, has cut off water supply to large areas of the northern West Bank governorates leaving more than 150,000 Palestinians without drinkable water; including several villages in Nablus Governorate (Huwara , Deir Al Hatab, Salem , Azmout, Jeet, Sarra and Kafr Qaddum ), in Qalqilia Governorate (Al-Funduq, Jinsafut ), as well as the city of Salfit and its surrounding villages (Qarawat Bani Hassan and Biddya ). Mekorot also reduced water supplies to Jenin Governorate (Fandaqumiya, Asa’sa, Silat ad-Dhahr ), leaving families under severe conditions; searching for scarce alternative temporary water resources to drink and meet their basic human needs, and unable to access water for agricultural nor other farming purposes. This Israeli unilateral action has reduced water supply to line areas by 50% - 70%. This shows clearly the immoral actions of Israeli occupation authorities that occupy and control over 85% of the historical ground water resources. Through this decision, Israel, the occupying power, has shown its complete disrespect for its obligations under International Humanitarian Law as well as Geneva International Conventions. More importantly, it highlights and emphasizes the magnitude of Israeli forceful control over Palestinian lives, denying tens of thousands of Palestinian families their basic right to water and sanitation. Given the fact that Israel can turn on and off the tap to Palestinian occupied areas at its own choice; anytime and anywhere; millions of Palestinians feel they are living every day under the threat of denied access to water at the mercy of Israeli changing policies.

  • 8 - 21 December 2020 Biweekly Highlights
    8 - 21 December 2020 Biweekly highlights • On 21 December, a 17-year-old Palestinian boy from Qabatiya (Jenin) reportedly opened fire at a police post in the Old City of Jerusalem and was subsequently shot and killed by Israeli forces who chased him. A police officer reportedly fell while running and was lightly injured. • On 20 December, an Israeli woman was found dead in a forest near the Tal Menashe settlement (Jenin), where she lived; the Israeli authorities suspect she had been attacked by a Palestinian. A series of stone throwing and physical assault incidents by Israeli settlers against Palestinians (mostly outside the reporting period) have been associated by the Israeli media with this case. • A total of 73 Palestinians, including 16 children, were injured in multiple clashes with Israeli forces across the West Bank. The bulk of the injuries (57) were recorded in protests against settlement activities in Kafr Qaddum (Qalqiliya), Al Mughayyir and Kafr Malik (Ramallah). Fourteen Palestinians were injured in clashes during search-and-arrest operations in the cities of Tulkarm and Nablus and in Jaba’ village (Jenin). Two Palestinians were injured near Jenin, while trying to cross into Israel through Barrier breaches. Ten of the Palestinians injured during this period were hit by live ammunition, 17 by rubber bullets, and 40 were treated for inhaling tear gas. • Israeli forces carried out 183 search-and-arrest operations and arrested 154 Palestinians across the West Bank. Most operations were recorded in the governorates of Nablus (39) and Tulkarm (35), followed by Jerusalem (28) and Hebron (23). • A home located about one kilometre away from Israel’s perimeter fence east of Gaza city was hit and severely damaged by an Israeli tank shell, reportedly fired accidentally.
