GAZA, Palestine, February 14, 2005 (IPC+WAFA)—Despite ongoing understandings between the Israeli and Palestinian sides on a ceasefire, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have launched more land expropriation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory (OPT).

IOF have continued to construct the annexation wall inside the West Bank Territory. In occupied east Jerusalem, the Israeli troops handed over tens of the citizens of Beit Hanina town notices of seizing their land for building the apartheid wall built illegally on the citizens’ lands besides setting up a new military outlook.

Elsewhere, the Israeli troops issued on Sunday a proclamation to expropriate 300 dunums of the citizens’ lands in Toura al gharbyia village of Jenin.

Meanwhile, a mob of the Israeli settlers of the illegal settlement of Abraham Ebinyou attacked a group of Palestinian civilians in Al Sahla square, wounding several with bruises.

In Qulqelia, the Israeli settlers of the illegal kadomim settlement disallowed the citizen Abed Al Lateif Jum’a from Kafr Kadoum an access to his farmland and to graze his folk.

South Gaza Strip, before the midnight the Israeli troops stationed at Tal Zu’rob outpost opened its heavy firing towards the citizens’ houses in the refugee camps of Yebna, Al Shuat, traumatizing women and children.

Even though IOF reopened Rafah International Crossing Point on the Egyptian border, they have continued to impose severe restrictions on travel. The crossing point is opened from 09:00 to 17:00 everyday. Palestinians aged 16-35, including students and patients, have been prevented from traveling through the crossing point. The crossing point has been the only outlet for the Gaza Strip to the outside world since the beginning of the current Intifada.

Beit Hanoun (Erez) crossing in the northern Gaza Strip has been closed. A number of patients who suffer from serious diseases are sometimes allowed to enter Israel, but following prior coordination and under inhuman conditions. Patients have to wait for long hours before they are forced to wall or move on wheel chairs to be checked. Only patients who suffer from serious diseases are allowed to travel in ambulances, while other patents have to travel in taxis after passing through checking.
