Summary
Israeli
violations of international law and international humanitarian law in the oPt
continued during the reporting period (14 – 21 November 2012). The first attack
was conducted on Wednesday, 14 November 2012, when IOF extra-judicially
executed the leader of Ezz Eddin al-Qassam Brigades (the military wing of Hamas
movement), Ahmed al-Ja’bari, and his bodyguard. A comprehensive offensive was
then launched on civil and military targets throughout the Gaza Strip. As a
result, hundreds of Palestinian civilians, including a big number of children,
women and elderly, were killed and wounded. Moreover, dozens of houses were
destroyed and hundreds of others sustained damages, in addition to the
destruction of governmental and private establishments. Several hours before
the issuance of this weekly report, a ceasefire agreement was reached between
IOF and the Palestinian resistance movements under the auspices of Egypt.
In
the West Bank, dozens of protests were organized against the Israeli offensive
on the Gaza Strip, where IOF used excessive force to disperse them. As a
result, 2 Palestinian civilians were killed and dozens of others were wounded.
As
part of the pattern of using excessive force against peaceful protests
organized by Palestinian civilians, IOF used force to disperse demonstrators
protesting against the annexation wall and settlement activities in the West
Bank.
Israeli
settlers in the West Bank have continued to commit crimes against Palestinian
civilians. These attacks are conducted under the incitement of the Israeli
government, encourages settlers to conduct more attacks in presence of Israeli
soldiers, who offer protection to them. In addition, the Israeli government neglects
to carry out investigations after complaints are filed by the Palestinian
civilians against the settlers. These attacks are carried out in with the
entire world as a witness and an Arab world and larger international community
that remains silent, due to which Israel continues to commit more crimes,
promoting the perception of Israel as a state above the law.
Shooting and
shelling incidents:
During the reporting period, IOF
launched a new offensive on the Gaza Strip that started at 14:45 on Wednesday,
14 November 2012, and ended at approximately 21:00 on Wednesday, 21 November
2012. The offensive ended as a result of an agreement that was reached between
the Israeli government and Palestinian resistance groups under the auspices of
Egypt.
Similar to the Israeli offensive on
the Gaza Strip (‘Operation Cast Lead’) in 2008-2009, the main victims of this
recent offensive were civilians. Hundreds of civilians, the majority of whom
were children and women, were killed and wounded. Furthermore, entire families
passed away under the rubble of their houses, which were cruelly and
intentionally shelled by IOF. This offensive increased the suffering of the
Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, which has been under an Israeli
imposed illegal closure for 6 years, due to which the reconstruction of the
Gaza Strip following ‘Operation Cast Lead’ was hindered.
During the 8-day Israeli offensive
IOF, especially warplanes, attacked the entire Gaza Strip, leaving no place to
be safe. IOF targeted houses, destroyed them completely, in addition to
targeting other civilian objects, governmental establishments, police stations,
mosques, schools, hospitals, health clinics, streets, bridges, and service
centers. These targeted areas were densely populated areas, due to which the
number of civilian casualties increased. Moreover, IOF intentionally and
directly targeted journalists and media offices, killing 3 journalists and
injuring 12 others. Numbers and statistics mentioned in this report reflect the
scale of the attacks carried out during this military operation.
The Israeli offensive resulted in
the killing of 156 Palestinians, including 103 civilians. 33 children, 13 women and 3 journalists were
among those civilians who were killed. In addition, entire families were
killed, such as 8-members of the al-Dalo family. However, until now a girl
still remains under the rubble of the family house. Furthermore, the offensive
resulted in the wounding of 1,000 Palestinians, including 972civilians. 274
children, 162 women and 12 journalists were among the civilians who were
wounded.
During the offensive, IOF carried
out 1,350 air strikes, in which 1,400 missiles were launched, in addition to
artillery shells fired by land and naval forces. The Israeli attacks resulted
in the following:
55
houses were completely destroyed, while hundreds of other houses sustained
damages ranging between extensive damage and partial damage.
2
mosques were completely destroyed, while other 34 mosques sustained partial or
extensive damage;
8
governmental establishments were destroyed, the most prominent of which were
the Prime Minister’s head office and the Governmental Compound (Abu Khadra) in
Gaza City;
13
security offices and police stations were destroyed, the most prominent of
which was the Police Headquarter in Gaza City;
2
bridges connecting the centre of the Gaza Strip with the northern Gaza Strip
were destroyed;
6
media offices and 6 health institutions were targeted;
28
educational institutions sustained major damage.
II: The West Bank:
During the reporting period, IOF killed 2 Palestinian civilians,
injured another 122, including 31 children, a woman, and a paramedic. The
killing of the 2 civilians and injury of 115 others happened during peaceful
demonstrations protesting the Israeli offensive on the Gaza Strip, while 4
civilians, including two children, were injured during Israeli incursions, and
3 other civilians, including a child, were injured in peaceful demonstrations
protesting the Annexation Wall and Settlement Activity.
In the wake of IOF’s assassination of Ahmed al-Ja’bari, Commander
of the al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, on Wednesday evening, 14
November 2012, the West Bank witnessed a wide scale popular movement throughout
its cities. IOF used excessive force against these peaceful demonstrations. As
a result, two Palestinian civilians were killed, 102 sustained injuries,
including 21 children, a woman and a paramedic.
During incursions conducted by IOF during the reporting period, 4
Palestinians, including 2 children, sustained wounds. On Friday, 15 November
2012, a child sustained wounds in al-Tabka village, west of Doura, southwest of
Hebron, when IOF moved into the village. Another civilian was wounded in
al-Nouba village, west of the city. On Saturday, 17 November 2012, a child
sustained wounds when IOF moved into al-‘Aroub Refugee Camp, north of Hebron.
On 20 November 2012, IOF arrested the child from his home. On Sunday, 18
November 2012, a Palestinian civilian was injured in Beit Umar village, north of
Hebron, when IOF moved to the village. They also arrested his brother, a
physically disabled ex-prisoner. According to eyewitnesses, the injured
civilian went out to see where IOF were leading his brother when they fired at
him, injuring him in the back and shoulder. They also beat him severely before
transporting him with an IOF ambulance.
In the same sense, IOF continued to systematically use excessive
force against peaceful demonstrations, organized by Palestinian, Israeli and
international human rights activists, protesting the continued construction of
the annexation wall and settlement activity in the West Bank. As a result, 3
Palestinian civilians sustained wounds. In Bil’ein village, west of
Ramallah, Adeib Abu Rahmah, 41, member of the Popular Committee against the
Wall and Settlement Activity, was hit by a tear gas canister to the right foot,
while his son, Ahmed Adeib Abu Rahmah, 12, was injured with a metal bullet to
the back. Also in Kufor Qaddoum village, northeast of Qalqilya, a civilian sustained
an injury in the head by a gas canister, and dozens of demonstrators sustained
bruises and suffered from tear gas inhalation.
Incursions
IOF continues to raid Palestinian communities in the West Bank and
to arrest Palestinian civilians on a daily basis throughout the territory.
During the reporting period, the IOF conducted at least 77 military incursions
into Palestinian communities in the West Bank. During these incursions,
the IOF arrested at least 76 Palestinians, including 6 children.
Among the arrested civilians was Tha’er Halahla, an ex-prisoner,
who was taken from his home in Kharas village, west of Hebron, on Friday 16
November 2012. Halahla has gone through a 78-day hunger strike in protest to
being administratively detained, before being released. Also on Friday, IOF
arrested a Palestinian civilian from Beit Umar village, north of Hebron, after
injuring him, and also arrested a child from al-‘Aroub Refugee Camp, north of
the city, days after being injured by IOF.
From PCHR’s documentation of Israeli violations against
Palestinian civilians and their property in the West Bank, it becomes clear
that IOF deliberately abuses, tortures and terrorizes Palestinian civilians by
raiding their houses and inflicting material damages to their property.
Restrictions on Freedom of Movement
Israel continued to impose a tightened closure on the oPt,
maintaining 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 people 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
in place for people seeking to travel 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.
IOF 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.
Along with the use of military checkpoints to obstruct the
movement of the Palestinian civilians, especially between the cities and on
both ends of the Annexation wall, IOF also engages in various actions to abuse
them. These checkpoints are considered a trap used for arresting the
Palestinian civilians, as IOF arrests civilians on an almost daily basis at
checkpoints and border crossings.

Recommendations to the International
Community
1. PCHR calls upon
the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to fulfill their
legal and moral obligations under Article 1 of the Convention to ensure Israel’s respect for the Convention in the Occupied Palestinian
Territory. PCHR believes that the
conspiracy of silence practiced by the international community has encouraged
Israel to act as if it is above the law and encourages Israel continue to
violate international human rights and humanitarian law.
2. PCHR calls upon
the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to convene a
conference to take effective steps to ensure Israel’s respect of the Convention
in the OPT and to provide immediate protection for Palestinian civilians.
3. PCHR calls upon
the High Contracting Parties to the Fourth Geneva Convention to comply with
their legal obligations detailed in Article 146 of the Convention to search for
and prosecute those responsible for grave breaches, namely war crimes.
4. PCHR calls for
the immediate implementation of the Advisory Opinion issued by the
International Court of Justice, which considers the construction of the
Annexation Wall inside the West Bank illegal.
5. PCHR recommends
that international civil society organizations, including human rights
organizations, bar associations and NGOs, participate in the process of
exposing those accused of grave breaches of international law and urge their
governments to bring the perpetrators to justice.
6. PCHR calls upon
the European Union to activate Article 2 of the Euro-Israel Association
Agreement, which provides that Israel
must respect human rights as a precondition for economic cooperation between
the EU states and Israel. PCHR further
calls upon the EU states to prohibit import of goods produced in illegal
Israeli settlements in the OPT.
7. PCHR calls on
the international community to recognize the Gaza disengagement plan, which was
implemented in September 2005, for what it is – not an end to occupation but a
compounding of the occupation and the humanitarian crisis in the Gaza
Strip.
8. In recognition
of ICRC as the guardian of the Fourth Geneva Convention, PCHR calls upon the
ICRC to increase its staff and activities in the OPT, including the
facilitation of family visitations to Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails.
9. PCHR
appreciates the efforts of international civil society, including human rights
organizations, bar associations, unions and NGOs, and urges them to continue
their role in pressuring their governments to secure Israel’s respect for human
rights in the OPT and to demand Israel end its attacks on Palestinian
civilians.
10. PCHR calls upon the international community to pressure Israel
to lift the severe restrictions imposed by the Israeli government and its
occupation forces on access for international organizations to the OPT.
11. PCHR reiterates that any political settlement not based on international
human rights law and humanitarian law cannot lead to a peaceful and just
solution of the Palestinian question.
Rather, such an arrangement can only lead to further suffering and
instability in the region. Any peace
process or agreement must be based on respect for international law, including
international human rights and humanitarian law.
