A UN report said that Israel killed four Palestinians wounded 124 others and demolished and seized 18 homes and structures between March 21 and April 3.
The report which was released on Friday by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said that one woman aged 49 and three teenagers were killed during the reporting period.
One of those teenagers was a 16-year-old boy who was killed during an Israeli artillery attack on Rafah area in Gaza.
Since the beginning of the current year 12 Palestinians had been killed by Israeli occupation forces the report noted.
Overall 124 Palestinians 14 of them children were injured by Israeli forces in multiple clashes in the West Bank according to the report.
Most of the injuries occurred during clashes in the context of demonstrations commemorating the 41st anniversary of the Land Day. Other clashes were reported over the course of Israeli search and arrest campaigns at a funeral of the boy killed in al-Jalazoun refugee camp and during clashes in various locations of Jerusalem and Ramallah provinces.
In the West Bank the Israeli occupation authorities demolished or seized 18 Palestinian-owned structures on grounds of lack of building permits displacing 22 Palestinians and affecting the livelihoods of over 90.
Five of these structures were in east Jerusalem and the remaining 13 structures were in five communities in Area C in the West Bank.
Furthermore in the Jabal Mukaber area of east Jerusalem the family home of the perpetrator of an attack in January 2017 which killed four Israeli soldiers was punitively sealed displacing a woman and her four children.
The report also elaborated that the Israeli authorities declared various non-contiguous plots of land in the Nablus governorate amounting to nearly 1000 dunums as “state land” for the establishment of a new Israeli settlement and retroactively legalized three existing settlement outposts.
According to an Israeli cabinet decision the new settlement will be used for the relocation of settlers recently evacuated from the illegal Amona settlement outpost.
This settlement construction would impact the access to land by farmers from four adjacent villages which are Sinjil Qaryut as-Sawiya and al-Lubban ash-Sharqiya and would further undermine their agricultural livelihoods.
In four separate incidents during the same period the report said armed Jewish settlers attacked or threatened Palestinian farmers and forced them out of their land in the vicinity of illegal settlements in the West Bank.
In one of these incidents a Palestinian farmer was physically assaulted and injured near Beit Furik village (Nablus).
The other three incidents involved threats and intimidation of farmers who accessed their land in Nablus and Qalqiliya following prior coordination or authorization by the Israeli authorities.
Moreover three Palestinian-plated vehicles were damaged by settlers in stone-throwing incidents.
