The Israeli forces have continued settlement activities in the West Bank, and Israeli settlers have continued to attack Palestinian civilians and property.

Summary Israeli violations of international law and international humanitarian law in the oPt continued during the reporting period 28 March – 03 April 2013: Shooting: During the reporting period, the Israeli forces killed 2 Palestinian civilians and wounded 5 others, including a child and an Irish journalist, in the West Bank. In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli forces continued to fire at the Palestinian fishing boats in order to minimize the allowed fishing area to 3 nautical miles instead of 6 nautical miles. Moreover, the Gaza Strip witnessed 2 airstrikes on an agricultural facility and an open land. In the West Bank, in an excessive use of lethal force, the Israeli forces killed 2 Palestinian civilians and wounded a third one in Anabta village, east of Tulkarm. This happened when the Israeli forces stationed at Annab checkpoint, east of the said village, opened fire at a group of boys protesting in the vicinity of the checkpoint. On 29 March 2013, an 18-year-old boy was wounded by a bullet to the right leg and another 13-year-old child was wounded by a bullet to the right side of his head when an Israeli infantry unit moved into the center of Hebron. During the reporting period, the Israeli forces continued to systematically use excessive force against peaceful protests organized by Palestinians and Israeli and international activists against the construction of the annexation wall and settlement activities in the West Bank. As a result, Tommy, 70, an Irish journalist, was wounded by a bullet to the right hand in al-Nabi Saleh protest, northeast of Ramallah. Besides, a protestor was hit by a gas canister to the pelvis in Kofur Qaddoum protest, northeast of Qalqilia. Dozens of protesters also suffered from tear gas inhalation and other sustained bruises. In the same context, the Palestinian civilians organized many peaceful protests in solidarity with the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli jails, especially those on hunger strike. Other protests were organized to mark the 37 anniversary of the Land Day. Further, many protest were organized following the death of the Palestinian prisoner Maysara Abu Hamdiya, who suffered from cancer, at Soroka hospital in Beersheba in Israel. The Israeli forces used excessive force, as a result, a 20-year-old young man was wounded by a bullet to the right leg. Besides, many civilians suffered from tear gas inhalation and others sustained bruises. In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli forces continued to chase the Palestinian fishermen in the sea. PCHR's fieldworkers documented 2 shooting incidents on 28 and 30 March 2013 on Palestinian fishing boats that were sailing 3 nautical miles off al-Waha resort, northwest of Beit Lahia in the north of the Gaza Strip. As a result of the attacks, the fishermen were forced to flee back to the shore fearing of being wounded or arrested. However, neither casualties nor material damage were reported. www.pchrgaza.org/portal/en/index.php?view=article&catid=84%3Aweekly-2009&id=9382%3Aweekly-report-on-israeli-human-rights-violations-in-the-occupied-… 2/20 4/d4/a13mage were reported.Weekly Report On Israeli Human Rights Violations in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (28 Mar. 03 Apr. 2013) It should be noted that on Thursday, 21 March 2013, the Israeli forces declared minimizing the allowed fishing area from 6 to 3 nautical miles, as the Israeli forces allowed fishermen to sail up to 6 nautical miles following the cease-fire agreement between Hamas and Israel in November 2012. Additionally, 2 airstrikes were launched on Gaza City and the north of the Gaza Strip targeting an open land, a green house and a water well. No casualties were reported, but the residents of the 2 areas were frightened as a result. Incursions: During the reporting period, the Israeli forces conducted at least 65 military incursions into Palestinian communities in the West Bank. During these incursions, the Israeli forces arrested at least 30 Palestinians, including 3 children and a woman. During peaceful protests organized in the West Bank, the Israeli forces arrested 6 Palestinian civilians, including 4 children and Abdul Hafiz al-Hashlamoun, a photojournalist at the European agency. However, they were all released later. Restrictions on Movement: Israel continued to impose a tightened 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 Israeli-imposed closure of the Gaza Strip, which has steadily tightened since June 2007, has had a disastrous impact on the humanitarian and economic situation in the Gaza Strip. The illegal closure has caused not only a humanitarian crisis, but a crisis of human rights and human dignity for the population of the Gaza Strip. Recently-declared measures to ease the closure are vague, purely cosmetic and fail to deal with the root causes of the crisis; the root causes can only be addressed by an immediate and complete lifting of the closure, including lifting the travel ban into and out of the Gaza Strip and the ban on exports. Palestinians in Gaza may no longer suffer from the same shortage of goods but, as long as the closure is allowed to continue, they will remain economically dependent, unable to care for themselves, and socially, culturally and academically isolated from the rest of the world. The 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. During the reporting period, the Israeli forces completely closed the commercial border crossings between the Gaza Strip and Israel. They closed Karm Abu Salem crossing for 4 consecutive days, because of the Jewish holidays. This closure negatively affected the entry of goods, construction materials and medical consignments in the Gaza Strip. It also had a negative impact on the living conditions of the Palestinian civilians. The Israeli forces also imposed comprehensive security restrictions due to the Jewish Holiday of Passover. As a result, dozens of thousands of Palestinian workers were denied access to their work in Israel and occupied East Jerusalem. Moreover, the Palestinian traders were denied access to Israel and/or travel via the border crossings between the Gaza Strip and West Bank. Measures to Create Jewish Majority in occupied East Jerusalem At the level of house demolitions, the Israeli forces obliged Tayseer Hussein Abu al-Hawa, 59, to demolish a room attached to his house that is located in al-Sowana neighborhood, east of the Old Town of Jerusalem. This demolition was ordered by the Israeli municipality under the pretext of not obtaining a construction permit for that room.

    From left 10 right:- Dr. Hall. Dr. John Carruthers, Pres. Dodge L.L.D., and Dr. Ward. AL-KULLIYYAH ISSUED BY THE American University. of Beirut FORMEI:tLY THE SYRIAN PROTESTANT COLLEGE VOL. XIII. NOVEMBER, 1926 NO.1 THE LIFE OF CLEVELAND H. DODGE The Great Friend oj the Near East. I have been requested by the editor of the English issue of AI-Kulliyyah to prepare an article on Cleveland H. Dodge, placing special emphasis on his interest in the Near East. All I can do is to state a few facts simply-their unusual significance must be left to the imagination of the reader. Cleveland H. Dodge came from an old American family which has been distinguished for many generations for its re­ ligious zeal and philanthropy. The first member settled in Salem, Mass., in 1629. The first New York member of the family was David Low Dodge, born in Connecticut in 1774. He came to New York in 1805 as a partner in the largest wholesale dry goods house in the city. David married a daughter of the Rev. Aaron Cleveland, grandfather of Grover Cleveland-a former president of the United States. David Low Dodge founded a line of philanthropists. For five generations the name has been prominent in finance, social and religious work. He was one of the founders of the American Tract and Bible Society and the first president of the American Peace Society. He wrote several books on religious subjects, one being "War Inconsistent with the Religion of Jesus Christ." His son, William Earl Dodge, became in 1833 a partner in Phelps, Dodge and Co., which is still one of the greatest houses in the metal industries.

It was recognized by the majority of the United Nations but some states did not, which of its neighbour Israel. As a result people of both nations still claim the same territory and live next to each other with a lot of tensions. It can partly be told by analyzing the landscape using remote sensing images. On this colour composite, sea appears dark blue, vegetated areas show in green, bare soils in yellow and cities in indigo. Some Israeli settlements have been outlined on this image, based on United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (UN OCHA).
