Shooting:
During the reporting period, Israeli forces killed 4 Palestinian civilians,
3 of them were killed in occupied Jerusalem, while the other was killed at
Jaba' military checkpoint, northeast of the City. Israeli forces wounded 12
civilians, including 3 children, in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. In the
Gaza Strip, Israeli forces chased the Palestinian fishermen in the Gaza
Strip sea and opened fire at the farmers along the border area.
In the Gaza Strip, the border area witnessed peaceful protests against the
illegal closure imposed on the Gaza Strip. Israeli forces used force against
the protestors, as result, 7 Palestinian civilians, including 3 children,
were wounded. Five of them were hit with live bullets and the two others
sustained shrapnel wounds.
In the context of Israeli attacks against fishermen in the sea, on 17 June
2017, Israeli gunboats opened fire at and chased Palestinian fishing boats
sailing within 3 nautical miles northwest of Beit Lahia, north of the Gaza
Strip. The shooting recurred at the Palestinian fishing boats in the same
area on 18 and 19 June 2017. As a result, the fishermen were obliged to sail
back. Neither casualties nor material damage were reported.
In the West Bank, on 16 June 2017, Israeli forces killed 3 Palestinian
civilians from Deir Abu Mash'al village, northwest of Ramallah, and wounded
three by-passers when Israeli forces opened fire at the three civilians, who
carried out a stabbing and shooting attack in Sultan Suleiman Street at the
northern entrance to Bab al-Amoud (Damascus Gate) in occupied East
Jerusalem.
On 20 June 2017, Israeli forces stationed at Jaba' military checkpoint,
northeast of occupied Jerusalem, killed Baha' al-Herbawi (23), from
al-Eizariya village, east of the city. Israeli forces claimed that the
killed attempted to carried out a stabbing attack against Israeli soldiers
during an ordinary check-up at the checkpoint. Therefore, they shot him
dead.
In addition to the wounded persons mentioned above, on 17 June 2017, 2 other
civilians were wounded during an Israeli incursion into Deir Abu Mash'al
village, northwest of Ramallah.
