BETHLEHEM (Ma'an) -- The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) 
released a statement Monday detailing the casualties of the past 10 
days, ever since Palestinians in occupied East Jerusalem launched a 
civil disobedience campaign 
<http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=778312> in the city in protest 
of increased Israeli security measures at the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound.

Hundreds of Palestinians have been injured over the past week during 
violent clashes <http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=778320> and 
demonstrations against new Israeli security measures at the Al-Aqsa 
Mosque compound.

On Monday evening, a Palestinian was shot in the head 
<http://www.maannews.com/Content.aspx?id=778329>during clashes in the 
Jerusalem-area town of Hizma, with the Palestinian Ministry of Health 
reporting him to be in critical condition.

According to the group, approximately 1,090 Palestinians had been 
injured since Israeli authorities installed metal detectors, turnstiles, 
and additional security cameras in the compound following a deadly 
shooting attack at Al-Aqsa on July 14.

Statistics from the group showed that 29 Palestinians were injured, some 
seriously, with live bullets, 374 were injured with rubber-coated steel 
bullets, 471 suffered from tear gas inhalation -- including 34 who were 
hospitalized -- 216 were “physically assaulted, burned and run over” 
during clashes with Israeli forces.

376 of the injuries documented occurred in Jerusalem, with one 
Jerusalemite injured with live fire, 193 Jerusalemites injured with 
rubber-coated steel bullets, 14 Jerusalemites suffered from severe tear 
gas inhalation, and 168 Jerusalemites who were “assaulted and run over.

According to Ma'an documentation, seven Palestinians have died since 
July 14, with four killed during clashes with Israeli forces. The four 
were identified as 18-year-old Muhammad Mahmoud Sharaf, 20-year-old 
Muhammad Hassan Abu Ghannam, 17-year-old Muhammad Mahmoud Khalaf Lafi, 
and 24-year-old Yousif Abbas Kashur.
