This week, Israeli occupying forces perpetrated more human rights
violations against Palestinian civilians and property in the Occupied
Palestinian Territories (OPT). They shelled and moved into Palestinian
cities and villages and invaded the West Bank cities of Jenin, Tulkarm
and Salfit. This week, 12 Palestinians, 11 of them civilians, were
killed, including three children and two women.

In a continuation of the policy of assassination officially adopted by
the Israeli government, Israeli occupying forces carried out two new
assassinations: in Ramallah on 16 May, and in Balata refugee camp in
Nablus on 22 May. Five Palestinians, including a bystander, were killed.

Israeli occupation forces also shelled and invaded PNA-controlled areas.
On 19 May, they moved into the east of Gaza City and partially
demolished two factories, one of which is the only factory that produces
oxygen in the Gaza Strip. On 16 May, Israeli occupying forces razed
approximately 20 donums of Palestinian agricultural land in the same
area. On 21 May, Israeli occupying forces demolished three Palestinian
houses in al-Mughraqa area, south of Gaza city, even though PCHR had
already obtained a decision by the Israeli Supreme Court to stop the
demolition.

This week, Israeli occupying forces shelled Palestinian residential
areas in Khan Yunis and Rafah, killing a child and wounding more than 10
civilians in Rafah. A number of houses were also damaged.

Israeli occupying forces have maintained the total siege imposed on the
OPT, constitute collective punishment again the Palestinian population.
Israeli forces have separated Palestinian areas, transforming them into
cantons and imposed a curfew on several Palestinian areas in the West

Bank. In the Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation forces have divided the
strip into three isolated zones for several weeks. In a new measure
Israeli occupying forces on 20 May issued a military order declaring
al-Mawasi area in Rafah and Khan Yunis a “closed military area” and
obliging its Palestinian residents to obtain magnetic cards and special
permits issued by the Israeli civil administration to be able to move.
Two days later, an Israeli officer handed magnetic cards to all
residents of the area over the age of 16. On the same day, the Israeli
defense minister stated that his government would establish a
350-km-long security fence separating Israel from the West Bank.

In three separate incidents, Israeli occupying forces at military
roadblocks and checkpoints at the entrances to Palestinian cities and
villages shot dead three Palestinian civilians, including a woman, in
the West Bank.

According to lawyers of the Palestinian Society for the Protection of
Human Rights and the Environment (LAW), Israeli occupying forces put
around 500 Palestinians who were arrested during the Israeli full-scale
offensive on the West Bank into administrative detention, a form of
detention that allows Israeli forces to hold Palestinians for
indefinitely renewable periods of 6 months without charge.
