In the week between November 26 and December 2, Israeli forces killed five Palestinians and wounded 27 others — including seven children — across the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem, a humanitarian situation report by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) says.
According to Al Jazeera, OCHA also said that Israeli settlers vandalised more than 700 mostly olive trees owned by Palestinians in three locations in the occupied West Bank over just three days.
During the latest reporting period, 14 people, including eight children, in three Palestinian Bedouin households were forcibly displaced by Israeli settler violence, OCHA said.
“Villagers gathered to try to repel the settlers, after which Israeli forces intervened by firing live ammunition, tear gas canisters, and sound grenades at the Palestinians. According to medical sources, six Palestinians, including two children, were treated on-site for gas inhalation,” the UN report says.
