Israeli troops, on Sunday, suppressed a peaceful rally organized by five dairy companies at Ofer checkpoint, to the southwest of Ramallah, to protest being denied the marketing of their products in Jerusalem.
Soldiers attacked, with teargas canisters, a convoy of trucks belonging to the five companies, while gathering near the checkpoint in protest.
Israel recently decided to ban the five companies – Hamoudah, al-Jideedi, Arryan, Asslwa and Saniora – from selling their products in Jerusalem.
Amjad Muhtaseb, a marketing official at al-Jideedi, told WAFA that Israeli authorities cited a lack of Hebrew labels at the five companies’ products, as a pretext to ban their selling in Jerusalem, describing the decision as a “political” one.
He added that the decision constitutes a violation against Paris Protocols, signed between Israel and the Palestinian Authority in 1994.

Israeli naval boats, Saturday, targeted Palestinian fishermen’s boats with several missiles, despite sailing within the unilaterally-designated allowed fishing zone offshore, to the northwest of Gaza City.
WAFA correspondence said that soldiers fired at least six missiles at Palestinian fishermen’s boats, despite sailing within the six-nautical-mile allowed fishing zone. The current six-nautical-mile fishing zone falls drastically short of the twenty nautical miles allocated to Palestinian fishermen in the 1993 Oslo Accords.
The attack caused severe damages to three boats, whereas no injuries were reported among fishermen who were forced to leave the sea, for fear of being injured, killed, or detained.
The Israeli navy targets Gaza fishermen and farmers along the borderline on an almost daily basis, in a blatant breach of a ceasefire agreement reached between Israel and armed Palestinian groups in August of 2014, following 51 days of bloody aggression on the Gaza Strip, which claimed the lives of over 2.200 Palestinians, most of whom were civilians.
According to the Palestinian Center for Human Rights (PCHR), all Israeli attacks on Palestinian fishermen have taken place within the distance of six nautical miles, which it said “proves that Israeli forces' policies aim to tighten restrictions on the Gaza Strip's fishermen and their livelihoods.”
Israel has imposed a tightened blockade since 2007 after Hamas won the democratic legislative election and took over power in the Strip.

Poisonous substances landed from Israeli aircrafts in Palestinian agricultural and residential areas in the Jordan Valley on Friday, according to local sources.
Azem Mohamed, coordinator of agricultural relief projects in Jordan Valley, said that the Israeli side justified its action by claiming it was aimed at fighting wild animals in the Jordan Valley.
Mohamed affirmed to the Palestinian Information Center (PIC) that the dropped materials pose a risk to livestock, which the majority of the Jordan Valley residents depend on for food and income.
He added that these materials also endanger the health and lives of the residents, especially the children, because of their presence near their homes and farms.
The agricultural official warned the residents of tampering with these hazardous things and urged to them to necessarily inform the Palestinian authorities in their areas if they found them so as to destroy them in a proper manner.

Israeli soldiers assaulted, on Friday, the weekly nonviolent protest against the Annexation Wall and colonies, in Bil’in village, near the central West Bank city of Ramallah, and fired dozens of gas bombs, causing many to suffer the effects of tear gas inhalation.
Dozens of locals, Israeli and international peace activists marched from the center of the village, heading toward the village’s orchards and the Annexation Wall while chanting for the liberation of Palestine by ending the brutal and illegal Israeli occupation.
The Popular Committee against the Wall and Settlements in Bil’in said the soldiers fired dozens of rubber-coated metal bullets and gas bombs on the nonviolent protesters, in addition to firing gas bombs that detonate twice, and can hit targets as far as 1000 meters.
The Committee stated that this is the same type of gas bomb that killed Bassem Abu Rahma, on April 17 2009, and led to dozens of injuries over the years, in addition to causing a very serious injury to American peace activist Tristan Anderson, who was suffered quadriplegia after the bomb struck his head, on March 13, 2009.

The Committee urged local, regional and international human rights groups to intervene and stop the Israeli military escalation against the Palestinian people.
The attack against the protesters took place when the locals, Israeli and international peace activists marched from the center of the village while military vehicles drove to the village’s southern entrance.
The protesters carried Palestinian flags and pictures of American peace activist Rachel Corrie, who was crushed to death by an Israeli military bulldozer, on March 16 2003, while trying to prevent the army from demolishing a Palestinian home in Rafah, in the southern part of the Gaza Strip.
Abdullah Abu Rahma, the coordinator of the Popular Committee, denounced the Israeli invasion into the Palestine News agency, and the military order shutting it down, in addition to the excessive damage caused by the soldiers who violently searched it.
Abu Rahma said that such violations aim at silencing Palestinian media agencies and journalists, in an attempt to stop them from exposing Israel’s crimes and violations.
He also strongly denounced the Israeli crimes, and violations, targeting the Palestinian people, their homes, lands and property, and the attacks against nonviolent international solidarity activists.

Israeli occupation forces have now deployed troops and equipment along the Lebanese border, and stepped up military activities in th region on Wednesday, according to Lebanese sources.
For the second consecutive day in a row, the army fired tear gas canisters at Lebanese herders and local farmers working near the border with the occupied Palestinian territories, The Daily Star reported, according to PNN.

On Tuesday, local residents said forces repeatedly shot tear gas canisters during the morning hours. Shortly after, a large number of Israeli military jeeps were stationed in an illegal Israeli settlement across the Lebanese village of Kfar Kila.
According to witness accounts, the military used trees and shrubs for cover, and monitored the movements within Lebanon as motorized patrols were conducted.
According to alBawaba, local sources say Israeli patrols along the border have increased in the past week, with Israeli soldiers taking up ambush positions in the area.
The activities have sparked fears among local residents, who question the motives behind Israel’s latest transgression, The Daily Star said.
Israel launched two wars on Lebanon, in 2000 and 2006. About 1,200 Lebanese, most of them civilians, lost their lives during the 33-day war in the summer of 2006.

Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) opened fire towards Palestinian agricultural lands east of Deir al-Balah in Gaza Strip on Wednesday morning, forcing local farmers to leave their agricultural lands.
Eyewitnesses told the PIC reporter that farmers and shepherds were forced to leave their fields after Israeli forces stationed at the borderline opened heavy fire at them.
