The Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR) issued its weekly report on Israeli violations in the occupied territories, for the period between January 16 – 22, 2014, and said that the army assassinated two Palestinians, conducted 73 invasions, and continued to target the civilian population.

The PCHR said that, minutes after midnight on Wednesday, January 22, an Israeli drone fired a missile at a Palestinian car on the Sikka Street, in Beit Hanoun, in the northern part of the Gaza Strip, killing two fighters of the Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad.

The two have been identified as Ahmad Mohammad Za’aneen, 21, and his cousin Mohammad Yousef Za’aneen, 21. The bodies of the two fighters were severely mutilated due to the blast.

A child identified as Salah Farid Al-Ghaff, 11, was moderately injured, and resident Ahmad Sa’ad, 22, suffered serious injuries.

The PCHR added that on January 17, two Palestinian civilians were wounded near the eastern border area of the Gaza Strip.

The two were wounded when the soldiers, stationed across the border fence, opened fire at nonviolent protesters demanding their right to enter their lands, close to the border.

On the same day, soldiers stationed across the border east of Jabalia, in northern Gaza, fired rounds of live ammunition and gas bombs, into an area close to the Shuhada Graveyard after alleging some young Palestinians tried to throw stones at them.
