A Precis of Israeli Violations in the
period
(January 2008 . Jan. 12th, 2009)
The year 2008 is considered as the
bloodiest. At the end of 2008, Israel has launched a wide genocide
war against the Palestinian Gazans; due to that hundreds are killed,
thousands are injured, and hundreds of the Palestinian houses,
mosques, institutions and health care centers are demolished. Israel
has been violating the International humanitarian law and committing
war crimes.
Israel is using Dense Inert Metal
Explosives (DIME), depleted uranium weapons, bombs with cluster
ammunition and phosphorous bombs; hundreds of innocent palestinian
citizens are killed by these weapons, the majority of them are
women, children and worshipers. Israel has employed it's
full-fledged arsenal to attack Palestinian populated areas,
ambulances, medics, universities, mosques, and schools.
1-Gaza under Fire
Israel has continued to close all
border crossings to Gaza Strip for more than two years. The Israeli
siege of Gaza, has had a disastrous impact on the humanitarian and
economic situation in Gaza Strip. 1.5 million people are being
denied their basic rights, including freedom of movement, and their
rights to appropriate living conditions, work, health and education.
An Israeli genocide war against the Palestinian Gazans has followed
the siege causing causalities among the Palestinian civilians and
properties:
1446 Palestinian citizens were
killed; 360 children, 120 women, 5 journalists,12 paramedics and a
doctor, were among the victims.
- The IOF bombarded 53 Palestinian
mosques, 13 of which were totally damaged, hundreds of Palestinian
houses, many schools, universities, charitable institutions, sports
clubs, first aid clinics, and emergency centers.
-280 Palestinian patients, that were
denied permissions to cross the Gaza borders for further treatment
abroad, have passed away.
-(75%) of the bakeries in Gaza Strip
have been closed due to the lack of electricity supplies and cooking
gas.
-Because of the Israeli cut off of
fuel and electricity, the wastewater treatment plants has stopped;
the sewage has begun to spill into the streets causing the threaten
of spread dangerous infectious diseases and pollution of drinking
water.
-Living conditions (70%) of the
Palestinian civilian population have seriously deteriorated; levels
of poverty and unemployment have sharply mounted.
-At least 900 Palestinian prisoners
in Israeli jails have been deprived of family visitation for more
than 16 months.
2-The Judaization of Jerusalem:
During 2008, the Israeli government
invited bids to construct 20,000 new settling houses inside and
around the Occupied Jerusalem, 4,000 units of which were already
built. 1500 dunums (1 Acer = 4 dunums) of Palestinian lands were
confiscated to construct sections of the Apartheid Segregation Wall
(ASW), and 65 Palestinian Jerusalemite houses were demolished, under
the excuse that the houses were built without obtaining the Israeli
Building license.
The plans to expand the women yard in
Al-Buraq Wall (Wailing Wall) were done; the excavations under Al-Aqsa
mosque never stopped. The Islamic tombs in Ma.man Allah cemetery
were swept away by the Israeli authorities, in order to construct a
museum instead.
Israel has begun to count the
Jerusalemites Palestinians that live inside and outside the borders
of the Apartheid Segregation Wall; a step towards confiscating the
Jerusalemites' I.D., expelling them outside the city and severely
threatening their existence in the Occupied Jerusalem.
3- Willful Killings & Wounds:
During the period (January 2008- Jan.
12th, 2009), 1446 Palestinians were killed by the Israeli troops,
including 360 children, 120 women, 5 journalists, 2 disabled
persons, 12 paramedics and 2 prisoners.
About 6,000 Palestinian citizens were
wounded, including 45 International Solidarity Activists, 1800 child
and 500 women.
4- The Palestinian Prisoners:
During 2008, 5500 Palestinian
citizens had been detained, including 200 Palestinian Gazans. The
total number of the Palestinian prisoners in the Israeli Jails is
about 9,000, including 265 child (under 18 years old), 75 women, and
691 administrative prisoners, who are being detained without any
trial.
5- Houses Demolition:
400 Palestinian houses were
demolished; half of the houses were demolished during the Israeli
incursions against Gaza strip.
6- Israeli Checkpoints:
IOF have continued to impose severe
restrictions on the movement of Palestinian civilians in the West
Bank, including occupied East Jerusalem. 633 Israeli checkpoints
have been hindering the daily movement of more than 2 million
Palestinian citizens.
7- Settling:
8,000 dunums of Palestinian lands
were confiscated, another 5,000 dunums were razed, and 8000 fruitful
trees were uprooted, to construct sections of the ASW.
Under the protection of the IOF, the
Israeli extremists Jew escalated their organized attacks against the
Palestinian citizens and property in the cities of Nablus, Hebron
and Ramallah.
8- Palestinian Journalists Preferred
Targets For Israel:
Israel has killed the Palestinian
journalists Hassan Shakoura, Fadil Shana.ah, Basil Faraj, Ala.
Murtaja and Ihab El-Wuheidi, during its military incursions; it
seems that the Palestinian journalists are preferred targets for
Israel.
Many Palestinian press agencies were
either closed or corrupted by the IOF; many press agencies in Hebron
and Jenin cities were closed, while other agencies were destroyed by
the IOF shelling in Gaza Strip.
