" The Palestinian Center of Human Rights is urging the international
community to take immediate action against Tel Aviv and force it to stop
its crimes. The body says under the Fourth Geneva Convention, Israeli
crimes are tantamount to war crimes. The rights group says Israeli
forces have killed one Palestinian worker and injured another while
collecting rocks in the east of the Gaza city in the past few days. The
body says hundreds of jobless Palestinians make money by collecting and
selling rocks for construction purposes."

"The blockade and the tunnel closure are already blamed for the scarcity
of construction materials, rising unemployment and deepening suffering
for the impoverished Palestinians there. This has now made officials of
Hamas Movement that controls the territory to think of new ways to
devise mechanisms for wider flows of goods and materials into the
enclave. Hamas officials say they have proposed to delegate control of
key crossings with Egypt and Israel to private enterprises. But the
acting Palestinian Authority chief Mahmoud Abbas, who should decide over
this, is not expected to approve it. "

"Last week, some 300 Palestinian
activists established the protest village of Ein Hijleh in a cluster of
palm trees and abandoned houses in the Jordan Valley north of the Dead
Sea.
Ein Hijleh was created in the face of pledges by Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he would not "uproot any Israeli
citizen" from the West Bank and his insistence on retaining control of
the Jordan Valley amid talks brokered by U.S. Secretary of State John
Kerry.
The village was organized by the Palestinian Popular Struggle
Coordination Committee, with aim of "refusing the political status quo,
especially given futile negotiations destroying the rights of our people
for liberation and claim to their land."
During the seven days of
the encampment, activists began to make the crumbling houses
inhabitable, planted trees, installed solar panels, hosted political,
religious and diplomatic leaders, screened films and held cultural and
political discussions.
But in the early morning hours of Friday,
February 7, one week after the village was re-established, hundreds of
Israeli forces descended on the remaining activists. Dozens were
arrested and as many as 41 were injured according to reports that
emerged from the early morning chaos.
On February 12, nine activists
have been evicted for a second time when they returned to the village.
The popular resistance activists returned to check up on their village
and stay, when Israeli forces raided the village and showed a military
order declaring the village a closed military zone for 1 month.
Two
activists, Mahmoud Zawahre and Monther Amira have been arrested. Both
Zawahre and Amira were taken to a detention center before they were
released on bail. Israeli forces informed both arrestees that they are
not allowed to return to the area or visit it for two months."

'A coalition of international aid agencies says the Israeli demolition of
Palestinian homes has hit a five-year high since recent direct talks
between the Palestinian Authority and Tel Aviv.
25 aid organizations
said in a statement that demolitions increased by almost 50 percent
between July and December 20-13 compared to the same period in 20-12.
The statement also said displacement of Palestinians has spiked by
nearly three-quarters over the period. The coalition said 663
Palestinian homes have been demolished last year, the highest in five
years. Around one fifth of those buildings were built with international
donor aid. This comes as the International Red Cross earlier suspended
supplying tents to displaced Palestinians in the Jordan Valley in
protest over the Israeli confiscation of aid material.'
