Israeli attacks in the West Bank:

In the West Bank, Israeli forces extra-judicially executed 2 Palestinian civilians in Hebron, south of the West Bank, and wounded 3 others.

Israeli forces conducted 83incursions into Palestinian communities in the West Bank. 76 Palestinian civilians, including 27 children and 2 women, were abducted. Fifteen of them, including 9 children and a woman, were abducted in occupied Jerusalem.

Israeli forces continued their efforts to create Jewish majority in occupied East Jerusalem. A room and a playground in Silwan village were demolished, paving the way for the confiscation of 14 dunums for the interest of “national parks”.

In a crime that amounts to an extra-judicial execution, on Thursday, 24 March 2016, Israeli forces killed 2 Palestinian civilians in Hebron. Israeli soldiers opened fire at both of them after the latter stabbed an Israeli soldier in his shoulder. After the 2 Palestinians were wounded, Israeli soldiers opened fire again at them and shot them dead. Following a video was published displaying the crime, Israeli forces announced they have detained the soldier that opened fire and initiated an investigation. PCHR stresses that this crime was committed because the Israeli military and political leaders allowed the soldiers to shed the Palestinians’ blood. It should be noted that the 2 killed Palestinian were identified as Ramzi Aziz Qasrawi (20) and Abul Fattah al-Sharif (20).

On 25 March 2016, a Palestinian old man was hit with a bullet to the head during his participation in Kufor Qaddoum weekly protest, northeast of Qalqilya.
