Most of the injuries during the period 24-30 March took place in the context of protests across the West Bank to mark ‘Land Day’.
6,028 Palestinians in the West Bank were injured by the IDF in the West Bank in 2014. See Israel’s military occupation in 2014, by the numbers, Middle East Monitor (MEMO) quoted by Mi’raj Islamic News Agency (MINA) as reporting.
In a “serious incident” next to Shua’fat checkpoint in Occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli forces “shot and injured with rubber bullets a 9-year-old girl while on her way back from school.”

The number of Palestinians injured in the West Bank during the reporting period (59) is more than double the weekly average in 2015 to date (26).
Five Palestinians were also injured in the Gaza Strip during protests in the Israeli-imposed ‘no go’ zone near the border fence. (T/P002/R04)
