Israeli Minister of Defense Moshe Ya'alon, on Wednesday, reportedly gave clear instructions to his soldiers to shoot dead any Palestinian who tries to carry out an operation against Israelis.
During a visit to the Israeli soldiers at Jordan valley, Ya'laon said, "This period [has] witnessed an increase in the number of self-motivated attacks against Israelis, and it is of aptitude not to become [an] easy target. In such case you have to directly attack him."
"The soldier has to stop him by attacking him directly," Ya'alon instructed, according to Al Ray Palestinian Media Agency.
He explained to the soldiers that the enemy concentrates on weak points and, for that, one must be ready for any accident, even in areas of calm.

On Saturday the 15th of August 2015, the villagers from Kafr Qaddum once again demonstrated against the blockage of the road leading to Nablus as well as the nearby Kedumin settlement.
In solidarity with the local people there were few international activists and journalists to cover the demonstration. The non-violent protest was immediately suppressed by the Israeli occupation forces by shooting dozens of teargas canisters and live ammunition. Instead of the frequently used bad-smelling skunk water, the army drove a bulldozer into the village. |
This bulldozer destroyed the only water pipe in the village, leaving the people Kafr Qaddum without any connection to water until the pipe is repaired.
Especially during the hot summer months, water is a scarce and essential good.
Murad Shtaiwi, one of the leaders of Kafr Qaddum Popular Committee, understands the damage to the water pipe as a way to collectively punish the village for its ongoing resistance. The costs of a new pipe have to be paid for by the municipality. As Murad explains, damaging the water pipe is a deliberate attempt by the Israeli army to suppress the support amongst the villagers to continue to protests and thus block future demonstrations.

Israeli military vehicles entered agricultural lands in a border area in southern Gaza on Monday, local residents said.
Witnesses told Ma'an that five Israeli excavators raided the al-Nahda neighborhood near Rafah and leveled Palestinian land.
Israeli reconnaissance planes flew overhead during the operation, with Israeli military tanks positioned on the border between Gaza and Israel.
Israeli forces frequently shoot at farmers and other civilians inside the Gaza Strip if they approach large swathes of land near the border that the Israeli military has deemed off-limits to Palestinians.
The "security buffer zone" extends between 500 meters and 1500 meters into the Strip, effectively turning local farms into no-go zones. According to UNOCHA, 17 percent of Gaza's total land area and 35 percent of its agricultural land were within the buffer zone as of 2010, directly affecting the lives and livelihoods of more than 100,000 Gazans.

Mohammad Allan during transfer to Barzilai hospital in Askalan on Monday (10 August 2015)
The Israeli High Court on Monday is set to discuss the appeal to release Palestinian administrative prisoner and hunger-striker, Mohammad Allan.The 30-year-old prisoner went into coma on Friday, within the second month of strike. He currently lies in the ICU of Barzilai hospital, occupied Askalan (Ashkelon) south of Israel, in critical conditions.
The prisoner’s lawyer, Kamal Nattour, appealed to the court on Saturday for release on medical grounds.
Allan has been held by Israel without trial since November as an administrative prisoner, which means that he was arrested without being told what his charge is. The administrative confinement is 6 months than can be infinitely renewed.
Israeli occupation government says that if Allan wakes up from his coma and still wants to continue with hunger-strike, the internationally forbidden force-feeding procedure will take place, since the Knesset in July passed law that legalized it.
The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club submitted a request to hospital officials Sunday asking them to wake Allan from the coma in order to check where he stands on his condition, according to Haaretz.
Several demonstrations in support of Allan have been held since his condition began to deteriorate over the past two weeks, and especially over the weekend.
On Sunday, IOF arrested at least 15 people in demonstrations outside the Barzilai Medical Center. Two people were lightly injured.
The Israeli police has thus far repressed the demonstration of some 200 protesters, some of them Israeli. During the protest, Israeli extremist settlers went against the pro-release protesters, causing the erupt of clashes.
The demonstration called by far-right Jewish activists, including prominent lawyer Itamar Ben-Gvir, was joined later Sunday evening by some Ashkelon residents. Demonstrators shouted “Death to Arabs.”
Last Monday, Allan was moved to Barzilai medical center in Askalan, in preps to be force-fed. However, the hospital administration and doctors said that they refuse to do it, since it is unethical, violates a peaceful form of protest, and endangers the life of the prisoner.

The Israeli occupation army on Sunday night launched a large-scale search for a missing soldier along the eastern border of Khan Younis in southern Gaza following a hoax report on his capture by the Palestinian resistance.
Local sources said that the Israeli army sent large reinforcements to the eastern border areas of Khan Younis, where they carried out a limited incursion to look for the soldier.
The sources added the troops fired more than 20 flare bombs during the search operation.
Israeli media sources, in turn, claimed that the intensive military moves on Gaza border happened after the Israeli army received a report on the kidnapping of a soldier from Sofa post, east of Rafah.
They added that the search operation was aborted after finding out that the kidnap report was untrue.
