[Saturday, February 01, 2014] The Ahrar Center for Detainees' Studies 
and Human Rights has reported that Israeli soldiers killed six 
Palestinians, wounded dozens of others, and kidnapped 383, in January of 
this year.

Ahrar said that five of the slain Palestinians are from the Gaza Strip,

On January 3, the army fired shells into the Jabalia refugee camp, in

as Adnan Abu Khater, 18.

On January 8, soldiers bombarded the Shuja'eyya neighborhood in Gaza 
city, killing one Palestinian identified as Mohammad al-Ejla, 32.

On January 22, two Palestinians, identified as Ahmad Za'anin, 21, and

the northern part of the Gaza Strip.

On January 24, one Palestinian identified as Bilal Oweida, 20, was 
killed by Israeli army fire in Jabalia, in northern Gaza.

On January 29, soldiers shot and killed one Palestinian identified as 
Mohammad Mubarak, 20, from the al-Jalazoun refugee camp, near Ramallah.

The Israeli attacks and violations also led to dozens of injuries in 
different parts of the Gaza Strip and the West Bank.

Ahrar said that the army also kidnapped 383 Palestinians in January, and 
that most of the arrests took place in the Hebron district, in the 
southern part of the occupied West Bank.

Jerusalem, 62 in Bethlehem, 55 in Nablus, 26 in Jenin, 24 in Ramallah,

Strip, 7 in Tulkarem, 2 in Salfit, and one in Tubas.

Three of the nine Palestinians kidnapped in Gaza are patients, and were 
taken prisoner at the Erez Israeli Crossing despite receiving Israeli 
permits to cross the terminal seeking medical attention.

The Ahrar center said that the army kidnapped seven Palestinian women in 
January, and released five of them later on.

The two who remained in detention are Deema Sawahra, 16, and Hanin Abu 
al-Hummus, 18, from occupied Jerusalem.

Furthermore, the Center reported that the army and settlers carried out 
more than 30 violations against the Palestinians, their lands, property 
and holy sites in January.

The attacks include burning a mosque, uprooting Palestinian farmlands 
and orchards, and stealing produce.

stated that Israel started the year with a new wave of violations and 
escalation, and that the number of detained Palestinians in rapidly 
increasing.

The army also continued the use of excessive force against local and 
international nonviolent protesters marching against the illegal 
Annexation Wall and settlements, in different parts of the occupied West 
Bank.
