This is a list of individual incidents and statistical breakdowns of incidents of violence, including property damage and expropriation,[1][2][3][4][5][6] involving a violation of rights,[7] taking place between Israel and Palestinians in 2015 as part of the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict, but exclusive of particular events that fall within the parameters of any full outbreak of war hostilities.

Housing demolitions are regarded by Israel as justified as a deterrent response to acts of terrorism or on the grounds that the houses in question in East Jerusalem, and the occupied West Bank were built without permits from the Israeli Military Authority governing the West Bank.[8] The practice is condemned as discriminatory,[9] a form of collective punishment, sometimes as a war crime in violation of international law, by the United Nations, many human rights organizations,[10] the United Nations,[11][12] and scholars such as Meron Benvenisti and Saree Makdisi.[13] Israel has clashed with the EU's funding and construction of buildings for Palestinian residents in Area C, and ordered the demolition of 400 units saying that under international law, such structures do require Israeli permits.[14]

2015

According to Walla!, from January 2015 until April 26, 172 attacks against the Jerusalem Border Police and SWAT teams were recorded. 148 Molotov cocktails and 15 explosive devices have been thrown at Border Police, 1 shooting incident, 4 stabbing attempts or attacks and 4 "car rampage"attacks (attempted or actualized) have been launched. Many of policemen have been injured in these clashes.[15]

According to United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), from January 1 to April 22, at least 8,139 trees and saplings planted by Palestinians were uprooted or vandalized by Israeli settlers.[16]

January

According to Shabak, 124 attacks which it defined as "terrorist" were carried out in January, including: 1 stabbing, 3 small arms shooting, 17 improvised explosive devices and 102 firebombs attacks. 17 Israelis were wounded (7 seriously or moderately).[17]

In January, according to the Arab Group for Development and National Empowerment, an Arab Human Rights association, Israel detained over 400 Palestinians, on average 13 per day, of whom 57 were minors, and 18 women.[18] According to B'Tselem, Israeli forces since late 2014 through to January 2015 have confirmed a shift to resorting more frequently to the use of live 0.22 inch caliber bullet fire from Ruger 10/22 rifles in West Bank clashes contrary to regulations that prohibit recourse to live fire against stone-throwers.[19]

From Dec 30 to the 12 of January, according to OCHA, 42 Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli forces in the West Bank, 45% (19) being children, and 14 being hit with live ammunition. Over the same period, 5,554 olive saplings and trees were reported to have been vandalized by Israeli settlers. Israeli media reported 11 Palestinian attacks, 6 involving stone-throwing and 3 the hurling of Molotov cocktails, on settlers and other Israelis in both the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Israeli military administration razed 27 Palestinian structures in Area C of the West Bank, while 5 more were demolished in East Jerusalem, with 2 more demolished by their Palestinian owners to avoid fines, all due to the lack of Israeli-issued building permits.[20] From 13–19 January, 25 Palestinians, of whom 10 were children and 3 women, were injured in clashes across the West Bank, 40% during protests against the Separation Barrier in Bil'in, the closure of the road to Kafr Qaddum and the road connecting the villages of Surif and Jab'a in the Hebron Governorate. 3 incidents involving Palestinians stoning Israeli vehicles were recorded for the same period.[21] Israeli forces fired 19 times in the same period in the direction of Palestinians found venturing into the Access Restricted Areas (ARA)[22] of the Gaza Strip.[21] From 20–26 January, 32 Palestinians, including eight children and two women, were injured in clashes, while Israeli authorities razed 41 Palestinian-owned structures in Area C of the West Bank, and four in East Jerusalem for lack of permits, displacing 81 Palestinians.[23] In the same period there were 29 incidents involving Israeli naval and ground forces firing on Gazan fishing boats and Palestinians within the Strip in the Access Restricted Areas (ARA).[23] From 27 January To 2 February,41 Palestinians, inclusive of 7 children and 3 women were injured by Israeli forces in West Bank clashes. Three incidents of Palestinian stone-throwing occurred in East Jerusalem resulting in damage to 2 Israeli vehicles.[24] According to the Israeli Security Agency Shin Bet, 124 incidents related to Palestinian violence, defined by the agency as 'terrorist attacks' took place over the same month: 115 took place in the West Bank, 18 in Jerusalem and 1 in Tel Aviv. Of these 102 incidents consisted of throwing Molotov cocktails and 17 of throwing improvised hand bombs. 3 incidents involved small arms gunfire, and one related to a stabbing assault.[25]

The motivation for demolishing these homes is purely political, and racially informed: to either drive the Palestinians out of the country altogether (the "quiet transfer") or to confine the four million residents of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza to small, crowded, impoverished and disconnected enclaves . .Allocating land for military training is not confined to unpopulated areas but can occur in the heart of Palestinian residential communities. In the remaining 30% of the land, intended construction is conditional on complementarity with a plan endorsed by the Israeli Civil Administration, of which less than 1% satisfies this requirement. Thus Palestinians are faced with the choice of building irregularly or leaving their communities. This policy is violently enforced with the demolition of homes and other infrastructure such as schools and health clinics being a regular occurrence.'

Israel's demolition of Palestinian homes,' Amnesty International, June 2010:'Palestinians living under Israeli occupation in East Jerusalem and the rest of the west bank face such tight restrictions on what they can build that their right to adequate housing is being violated. the Israeli authorities condemn as "illegal" homes and other structures built without the permits that they control and rarely allow to Palestinian residents, and then order their destruction. Demolition crews, accompanied by security officials, may arrive at any time, giving families little notice or opportunity to remove their possessions. Under Israeli military law applied to Palestinians in most of the west bank, evicted families are not rehoused or compensated. So, those evicted would face homelessness and destitution were it not for relatives, friends and charities. Palestinians in East Jerusalem fare little better under the Israeli civil authorities. .Violations of the right to adequate housing experienced by Palestinians in the oPt are both a symptom of the wider human rights violations to which Palestinians are subject and a barrier to their achievement of other human rights.. .As the occupying power, the actions of Israel in the oPt are also bound by the fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in time of War to which Israel is a signatory. Article 53 prohibits destruction of property that is not justified by military necessity.'
