Israel’s occupation forces killed 19 Palestinians, including four
children, and wounded 1,600 during August, Quds Press reported on
Friday. The killings took place in the occupied West Bank, Gaza Strip
and Jerusalem.
According to a report issued by the PLO’s Abdullah Al-Hourani Centre for
Documentation and Studies, 17 Palestinians were killed in Gaza while
they were taking part in the Great March of Return protests, one was
killed in Israel itself and the other was killed in the West Bank.
Those who were wounded, it revealed, were targeted during the Gaza
protests as well as the confrontations between unarmed Palestinians and
heavily-armed Israeli forces in the West Bank.
Around 400 Palestinians were arrested by Israel last month, most of them
in the West Bank. The Israelis also demolished 31 Palestinian-owned
buildings and issued demolition orders for 39 others.
Meanwhile, the occupation authorities approved building permits for more
than 1,000 housing units on illegal Jewish settlement and expropriated
hundreds of dunams of Palestinian land.
The PLO report also documented dozens of attacks on Palestinians and
their properties in the occupied West Bank by Israeli settlers. Three
incidents involved cars being used as rams, and more than 600 olive and
fruit trees were destroyed.
