Alleged killings and cases of excessive use of force in Israel and the Occupied
Palestinian Territories resulting in the deaths of 27 individuals and injuries to
hundreds of others. According to the information received, a number of attacks at
the hands of Palestinian individuals resulted in the killing of six Israeli civilians
and one off-duty Israeli soldier, as well as injuries to a further 38 Israelis.
Numerous incidents of excessive use of force by Israeli security forces against
Palestinians have also been reported in the context of demonstrations and clashes.
Security forces have reportedly used live ammunition and excessive force against
people who in many cases were not posing an imminent threat of death or serious
injury. As a result, 20 Palestinians were killed and at least 370 were injured. Some
of the killings may amount to unlawful killings and extrajudicial executions.
