As the year draws to a close, we’d like to share with you 89 seconds
that convey several images, several moments, of the reality of Israel’s
“democratic” control over Palestinian subjects, whose lives - and homes -
are entirely exposed to Israel’s power. The occupation will sadly still
be here in 2019. And so will we.  Until the occupation ends

On 14 July 2018, the Israeli military carried out an airstrike on a
building in Gaza which it claimed the Hamas used for training purposes. A
joint investigation by B’Tselem and Forensic Architecture found that
the strike began with the launching of four missiles the military termed
“warning missiles.” The first killed two 14-year-olds who were sitting
on the rooftop at the time. The investigation also found that the video
clip the military released of the attack omits footage of the strike in
which the two boys were killed while the impact of the third missile is
shown twice. The firing of lethal missiles as a means of warning is
unlawful and, for all intents and purposes, constitutes an attack. As
such, the action must abide by the applicable rules set out in
international law, including adhering to the principle of
proportionality and the duty to provide effective warning. None of this
was done in the case at hand
   







At around 8:00 A.M. on the morning of 17 December 2018, Israeli infantry, military jeeps and tanks came to the area by the Tayasir School in the village of al-‘Aqabah in the northern Jordan Valley, and trained there
 





On the morning of Thursday, 13 December 2018, at around 11 A.M., Civil
Administration personnel came with a military jeep escort to the
Palestinian community of Khirbet Ibziq in the northern Jordan Valley.
They served temporary displacement orders to 13 families – a total of 70
people, including 38 children – citing military training in the area as
the pretext. The orders require the families to vacate their homes from
12:00 noon until 6:00
the next morning on 16 December, 23 December, 26 December, and 31
December 2018. In other words, the families must spend the night away
from home.
Two of the 13 families were served additional orders, requiring them to
vacate their homes also on 17 December 2018 from 12 noon until 4:00
P.M., and on 18 December 2018 from 10:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M. Twelve of
the 13 families had already been temporarily displaced from their homes
in March 2018.
On Sunday, 16 December 2018, at around 12:00
noon, military jeeps and tanks arrived in the area, as did Civil
Administration personnel who instructed the families to vacate their
homes. The families complied. Taking along a portion of their flocks but
leaving behind young lambs and kids, the families walked a distance of
over 5 kilometers. Some were able to stay with relatives, while others
remained outside, exposed to the elements

November 30th marked the eight-month anniversary of the Great March of
Return. Every Friday since March 30th, thousands of Palestinians in Gaza
have taken to the borders with Israel to demand the right of return of
refugees to their ancestral homelands in present-day Israel, and an end
to the siege on Gaza. Israel has imposed an 11-year land, air, and sea
blockade on Gaza, crippling the coastal enclave's economy. Gazans suffer
from lack of access to clean water, high unemployment rates, and
electricity for only a few hours a day -- contributing to growing
frustrations in the coastal enclave. Despite reported efforts from
political officials to bring the Great March of Return to a close,
protesters maintain that they will continue demonstrating until the
siege is lifted once and for all.

The Israeli military, in a statement released on Monday, alleged that
the attacker was "neutralized" near the Gush Etzion junction south of
the city of Bethlehem, located about 10 kilometers (6.2 miles) south of
Jerusalem al-Quds.

The statement asserted that three Israeli soldiers were injured in the
purported assault. One of the soldiers sustained moderate injuries,
while the other two were slightly hurt.

The Israeli military added that the Palestinian man rammed his vehicle
into soldiers as the latter were carrying out engineering work along a
road. An Israeli soldier, on patrol, then fired shots at the alleged
assailant.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) confirmed that Israeli

On the morning of Tuesday, 6 November 2018, at about 6:00
A.M., Jerusalem Municipality personnel came with two bulldozers and a
Border Police and special Israel Police forces escort to the East
Jerusalem neighborhood of Beit Hanina. They demolished two tin-roofed
cement structures which had been the homes of two families, numbering 11
persons, including 5 minors. Later that morning, at around 10:00
A.M., Jerusalem Municipality personnel came with a bulldozer and a
Border Police escort to the East Jerusalem neighborhood of Silwan and
demolished a snack shop.
The Jerusalem Municipality deliberately avoids preparing detailed urban
building plans (UBPs), which are the only avenue for obtaining building
permits, for the Palestinian neighborhoods in East Jerusalem. The result
is a severe shortage of homes, public buildings, infrastructure and
leisure and commercial facilities. This has left the residents no choice
but to build without permits and risk demolition.

Palestinians who live in the Gheith and a-Salameih neighborhoods, as
well as in other neighborhoods in Hebron, are subjected to extreme
restrictions on their freedom of movement, as B’Tselem has documented
many times. The military built a fence along the main street of these
neighborhoods to keep residents out and leave the street open to
settlers only.

Although the military promised it would keep the gate in the fence open
from 6:00 A.M. to 22:00
P.M., it has failed to do so and the gate often remains locked
throughout the day.

To get out of the area when the gate is closed, residents have to take a
roundabout route that is 500 meters long and includes many flights of
steps. When neighborhood children find the gate locked on their way to
school or back home, they often scale the fence rather than take the
long route.

Israel has been implementing a segregation policy in Hebron for more
than twenty years, largely by installing permanent checkpoints
throughout the center of the Old City and around al-Haram al-Ibrahimi
(the Tomb of the Patriarchs) – an area less than 80 hectares wide. These
checkpoints make daily life a nightmare for Palestinian residents there
and in other parts of Hebron.

This unceasing harassment and restriction of movement prevents
Palestinian residents of Area H2 from leading a reasonable routine and
makes daily reality intolerable. By implementing this policy, the
Israeli authorities are promoting the ongoing transfer of Palestinians
from the center of

Hebron.

The time had finally come: the residents of Turmusayya, a lush
Palestinian village nestled in a valley between Ramallah and Nablus in
the central occupied West Bank, had gotten permission from Israeli
authorities to go harvest their olive trees.

This chance only came twice a year: two days in the spring to cultivate
their land, and two days in the fall to harvest the olives.

Filled with excitement and a sense of urgency, the villagers made their
way to their farmlands, which are surrounded by an Israeli settlement
and outpost. When they arrived, they were devastated to find dozens of
trees chopped down, uprooted, and rotting.

The 40 olive trees belonged to 78-year-old Palestinian Mahmoud al-Araj,
who had been tending to the trees since he was a boy.

“Some of these trees are 40, 50, 60, and 70 years old,” al-Araj told
Mondoweiss, as he sat under the shade of a large olive tree that had
been slashed at its trunk.

“I have been cultivating these trees, this land, since I was a boy. We

One of the ways the state has set itself up as coping with the

it is implemented only partially and not universally for all children.
In addition, an important component of the law, designed to create jobs
in the community by establishing community kitchens that will provide
the meals, was not implemented at all 15 years after the legislation -
what are the challenges still facing the implementation of the law?

protestors executed by the Israeli army during the Great March of Return
in previous months.

only a few dozen meters and the siege fence between them. Armed soldiers
arrived and attempted to disperse the meeting. Activists from both
sides chanted together to the rhythm of a drum, “free free Palestine”.
The demonstrators left from both sides without incident, promising to
