A fresh report issued by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) reported Friday that 53 Palestinians, including five women and 13 children, have been killed in alleged attacks on Israelis since the beginning of 2016, compared to 89 in the last quarter of 2015.
The report was issued to monitor Israeli violations against Palestinian civilians, during the period from May 24 to June 6.
On 2 June, a 24-year-old Palestinian woman, mother of two children, was shot dead by Israeli forces while approaching the Enav Checkpoint (Tulkarm), allegedly after she attempted to stab a soldier, the report said.
The Israeli authorities handed over the corpses of two Palestinians, including a 17-year-old girl, suspected of perpetrating attacks against Israelis, to their families. The corpses of another nine Palestinians are still being held.
A total of 97 Palestinians, including 30 children and one woman, were injured in the West Bank in clashes with Israeli forces during the two-week period. The vast majority of clashes occurred during demonstrations and protests, including in Ni'lin and Al Jalazun Refugee Camp in Ramallah governorate; Azzun and Kafr Qaddum in Qalqiliya governorate; and Abu Dis, Al ‘Eizariya and Silwan in Al Quds.
In Gaza, two Palestinians were shot by live ammunition and injured during demonstrations near the Israeli perimeter fence.
Israeli forces conducted 167 search and arrest operations and arrested 240 Palestinians in the West Bank during the two-week period, with Al Quds accounting for the highest portion of arrests (35 per cent).
In the Gaza Strip on six occasions, Israeli forces carried out land-levelling and excavation operations in the ARA on land.
