حماية المدنيين | 11 - 17 شباط/فبراير 2009

Violent incidents during the week by the Israeli military and Palestinian armed factions continued to undermine the current cease-fire in Gaza. The Israeli military carried out attacks by land, sea and air killing two Palestinians, including a 13-year-old child. Palestinian armed factions fired approximately six rudimentary rockets and 12 mortar shells from Gaza towards Israel. In the West Bank, the Israeli authorities removed six movement obstacles in Hebron governorate, allowing direct vehicular access between various communities and Road 60, the main north-south traffic artery in the area.
