<blockquote class="article-intro">The Palestinian Center for Human
Rights (PCHR) based in Gaza published its weekly report on Israeli
violations in the occupied territories, in the period between October
21 and November 6 2013, and said that Israel army killed five
Palestinians, and injured dozens of residents.</blockquote>
<p class="article">It stated that, on October 31, soldiers killed four
members of the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas
movement, during clashes that took place as the army invaded
Palestinian areas between Al-Qarara and Bani Suhaila village, east of
Khan Younis, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.<br>
<br>
Three of the slain fighters were in a tunnel that was bombarded by the
invading soldiers, and their bodies were buried under the rubble. <br>
<br>
Also on October 31, soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian civilian in
Qabatia village, near the northern West Bank city of Jenin. <br>
<br>
Furthermore, a Palestinian political prisoner identified as Abdul-Halim
Torabi, died on November 5 at the Affoula Israeli hospital. <br>
<br>
The army kidnapped him on January 7 2013 despite the fact he suffered
from leukemia. <br>
<br>
He was held at the Al-Affoula hospital after being moved from Majeddo
Prison following a sharp deterioration due to the seriousness of his
condition, resulting from the lack of adequate and specialized medical
treatment. <br>
<br>
The PCHR said that the army conducted at least 50 invasions into
Palestinian communities in the West Bank, and kidnapped 50
Palestinians, including seven children.<br>
<br>
Among the detainees were some political leaders of the Hamas movement.
Several Palestinians were also kidnapped on roadblocks across the West
Bank.<br>
<br>
It added that Israeli Navy boats continued to target Palestinian
fishermen in Palestinian territorial waters in the Gaza Strip. <br>
<br>
Furthermore, extremist Israeli settlers carried out dozens of attacks
against Palestinian villagers and their lands in different parts of the
West Bank, cut and uprooted more than 340 trees in Palestinian
orchards. <br>
<br>
Also, at least six Palestinians have been injured as the army continued
to use excessive force against nonviolent activists, including Israeli
and International activists, protesting Israel’s illegal Annexation
Wall and its illegal settlements. <br>
<br>
One of the wounded is a Palestinian child; three of them were injured
in Bil’in weekly protest, one Nabi Saleh weekly protest, near Ramallah,
and one child was injured in Qotna village, near Jerusalem.<br>
