Sahar Tbaileh began her push to boycott Israeli goods with the help of three of her neighbors who live between the Ain Munjid and al-Masyoun neighborhoods in central Ramallah.
The women met at Tbaileh’s house and joined forces to form a women’s committee to spread the boycott and cleanse their neighborhood of Israeli goods by talking to women, merchants and store owners. The committee has also contacted neighborhood schools and discuss the importance of the boycott with students, in an unprecedented move that first took place Nov. 5.

Majority of Jerusalem Palestinians detained in 2015 were minors

Israeli forces detained more than 1,900 Palestinians from occupied East Jerusalem in 2015, the majority of whom were minors, a prisoners’ rights group said on Sunday.

A spokesman for the Palestinian Prisoners’ Center for Studies, Riyad al-Ashqar, said in a statement that around two-thirds of those detained from the occupied city were minors, 65 of whom were put under house arrest.

Palestinian accused of setting off car bomb in 'critical' condition

The Palestinian Prisoner's Society said Thursday that a Palestinian woman who Israel accuses of attempting to set off a car bomb last year remained in "critical" condition in Israeli custody.

A lawyer for the society told Ma'an that 31-year-old Israa Jaabis was severely injured by the blaze that engulfed her car in front of a checkpoint into occupied East Jerusalem on Oct. 10.

Israeli police said at the time that Jaabis was attempting to detonate a car bomb, although witnesses said they believed the fire was caused by a technical fault.

After visiting Jaabis in Israel's HaSharon prison, her lawyer said she was bound to a wheelchair, had lost fingers on one of her hands, and suffered severe burns across her body.

Palestinian hunger strikers persist

On Wednesday, political prisoner Kifah Hattab suspended his 50 day hunger strike in light of a developing deal with Israeli authorities that would recognize Hattab as a war prisoner.

Hattab is in Israeli jail under two life imprisonment sentences. He has launched multiple hunger strikes over the last three years to demand that Israel recognizes him as a prisoner of war.

Prior to the deal, Hattab was transferred to the Afula medical center due to seriously deteriorating health.

Political prisoners Mohammad al-Qiq and Abdullah Abu Jaber, who began their hunger strikes together approximately two months ago, continue to endure dangerously deteriorating heath to object their unjust sentences and the inhumane conditions in Israeli prison.

Hunger-striking journalist refuses vitamins as protest enters 51st day

- Palestinian prisoner Muhammad al-Qiq stopped taking vitamins on Thursday as he entered the 51st day of a hunger strike he began to protest his detention without trial, the Palestinian Prisoner's Society said.

Qadura Fares, head of the prisoner's society, told Ma'an that al-Qiq, a 33-year-old journalist from the southern West Bank town of Dura, had decided to stop taking to vitamins in order "to put pressure on the Israelis."

Fares said the decision also marked al-Qiq's determination to go on with his hunger strike, despite the continued deterioration of his health.

Palestinian shot dead after alleged attack attempt near Hebron

Israeli forces Thursday shot and killed a Palestinian near the Beit Einun junction northeast of the occupied West Bank city of Hebron after an alleged stab attempt, witnesses and Israel’s army said.

An Israeli army spokesperson told Ma’an that a Palestinian attempted to stab Israeli soldiers stationed near the junction, who responded by opening fire on the alleged assailant.

Sources from the Palestinian Red Crescent said that Israeli military forces prevented medics from accessing the shot Palestinian for medical treatment, leaving him to bleed on the pavement.

The man was identified as Muayyad Awni Jabbarin, 20, by his father, who arrived to the scene following his death.

Clashes erupted following the incident between locals and Israeli forces, who deployed in the area and closed the main road.

Jabbarin’s body was transferred from Israeli to Palestinian authorities later in the day, and taken to Hebron’s al-Ahli hospital for autopsy.

The 20-year-old’s family told Ma’an that the funeral of their son would be held on Friday, when they would bury him in the Sair village’s cemetery.

Jabbarin's family said they found a letter written by him, in which he asks his parents to forgive him for the pain he caused them.

"God, please forgive me mom and dad, I will kill two Israeli soldiers and take revenge for all the Palestinians they killed! Mom! Do not be sad! Your son died a hero,” the letter read.

“Please forgive me, and am really sorry for the pain I caused you, but may God be with you,” the letter added. “No matter how darkness stays, the sun will rise again, chains will break and we will all be free one day.”

2 Palestinians shot dead at Beit Einun junction near Hebron (12-2016)

Israeli forces on Tuesday afternoon shot dead two Palestinians at the Beit Einun junction northeast of Hebron, alleging that one intended to carry out a stabbing attack while the other had driven him there.

An Israeli army spokesperson said that Israeli forces shot and killed a Palestinian "armed with a knife" after he attempted to stab soldiers stationed at the junction.

Locals later identified the Palestinian as 23-year-old Muhammad Ahmad Khalil Kawazba from the nearby village of Sair. They said that they tried to reach his body, but Israeli forces prevented anyone from reaching the scene.

A second Palestinian, identified as 17-year-old Adnan Hamid al-Mashni from the village of Shayoukh, was shot and fatally wounded at the same time while driving near the junction.

An Israeli army spokesperson alleged that Mashni had driven Kawazba to the junction to carry out the attack. She confirmed that Israeli forces shot him, and said he afterward fled the scene.

Mashni was evacuated to al-Mizan Hospital in Hebron with a fatal gunshot wound to his chest. "We tried to save his life, but the wound was very critical," said Sharif al-Tarada, a doctor at the hospital. "We pronounced him dead."

A number of Palestinians have now been killed at the Beit Einun junction which lies between Hebron and the village of Sair.

A 16-year-old Palestinian was shot dead at the site on Thursday last week after he allegedly attempted to stab an Israeli soldier.

Family of Palestinian woman denies she was planning attack in Israel

A Palestinian family from the Ramallah-district village of Beit Sira on Monday denied Israeli media reports that a young woman from their family had intended to carry out a suicide attack in southern Israel.

Israeli news sites, including the Jerusalem Post and Ynet, reported Monday morning that Israeli police were searching for a woman that had entered Israel from the occupied West Bank with the intention of carrying out a suicide bombing.

In Israel and the occupied territories, shoot to kill is the new normal

The greatest enemy of the struggle against the Israeli occupation is routine. That danger in routine is apparent only in retrospect, looking back at the occupation over time. What was unacceptable yesterday, even unimaginable, becomes today’s routine on the way to tomorrow’s norm. Thus the occupation rolls along from one phase to the next, yet one thing never changes: occupation remains occupation, its manifold aspects hidden in plain sight.

Resistance to the occupation, also ever-present and altering only in its appearance and the means employed to express it, has for some three months now shown a new face as the “Intifada of the Knives” or the “Lone Wolf Rebellion,” or whatever else one wishes to call it. Without anyone organising it, without infrastructure or guiding hand, militant organisations or military headquarters, and nearly without arms or explosives, a new form of violent resistance has emerged. Individual Palestinians, mostly but not exclusively young people, mostly but not exclusively men, get up one morning and decide to act. Their instrument is typically a knife or a pair of scissors, or a privately owned car.

Israeli forces tear down plant nursery near Nablus

Israeli forces tore down a plant nursery in the northern West Bank district of Nalbus on Wednesday, a local official said.

Abd al-Rahim Suleiman, the mayor of the village of al-Sawiya south of Nablus, told Ma’an that a bulldozer escorted by military vehicles arrived in the morning and demolished a plant nursery owned by Fahd Audah Salih on the village's main road.

He said the nursery was 1,500 square meters and included an ancient two-room building which had been built before Israeli forces occupied the West Bank in 1967.

Israel to build 6 new watchtowers in Nablus, confiscate land

Ghassan Doughlas, who monitors settlement activity in the northern occupied West Bank, said Israeli forces told the PA the six towers will be built near the illegal Israeli settlement of Yitzar, a well-known hotbed for settler extremism.

end Hebron ‘closed military zones’

The undersigned organisations are calling on the international community to take immediate action regarding the continuous closure of the Tel Rumeida neighborhood and the part of Shuhada Street that has remained accessible to Palestinian residents since the Ibrahimi mosque massacre in 1994, in occupied al-Khalil (Hebron). For more than two months, Palestinians and internationals have been denied access to this part of the city since the Israeli occupation forces have declared the area a ‘closed military zone’.

The ‘closed military zone’, first declared on November 1st2015, was designed to include Palestinian neighborhoods while excluding adjacent illegal Israeli settlements. This discriminatory closure is being upheld by continuously renewed ‘military orders’ that lack official signatures or stamps. Palestinian residents were forced to register with the army or else risk being barred from their homes, while Israeli settlers are free to roam the streets without being stopped.

Israeli girl, after a year of volunteering at the Gaza Strip border, refuses to serve in IDF

This is why I am refusing: I will not take an active part in the occupation of the Palestinian Territories and in the injustice to the Palestinian people that is perpetrated again and again under this occupation. I will not take part in the cycle of hatred in Gaza and Sderot. –Tair Kaminer

Gaza faces harsh winter after Israel cuts gas supply

Palestinians say Israel has severely curtailed gas supplies to the occupied Gaza Strip this winter, fueling a major disruption to ordinary life for most families and exacerbating the harsh impact of the cold weather.

Tholfikar Sweirjo, a member of the leftist Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's committee in Gaza, told Al Jazeera the amount of gas entering Gaza has been decreased by at least 50 percent since early December.

How an Israeli group plans to infiltrate human rights monitors

An Israeli propaganda, or hasbara, organization is seeking to infiltrate Israeli human rights groups.

The Center for Public Diplomacy and Israeli Hasbara announced that it aims to plant secret operatives at HaMoked, an organization that campaigns against Israel’s abuses of Palestinians living under occupation, by sending people to apply for job openings.

"To the occupiers we're numbers, not human beings," he said.
