Summary Report for
January 2006
- Palestinian elections overturned Fatah’s long-held majority in the PLC, ushering in Hamas as the new power in the PA. Many Hamas campaigners were arrested and six Palestinian leaders were assassinated in the days leading to the election.
- In Gaza, eight Palestinians were killed by gunfire received from fellow Palestinians. The deaths continue a trend of feuding and gunfire deaths that have plagued Gaza since the disengagement.
- Nawal and Fawsi Halabi
were shot and killed by an IDF Special Forces unit in their home in
Nablus. Fawsi was watching the family car
through a house window; vandals had set the car on fire a few days before.
He was shot dead through the window by IDF forces. His mother, Nawal, was shot over fifteen times after coming to investigate
the noise.
- Two children were
killed by IDF soldiers in separate incidents. 9-year old Ajah al-Astal was shot in
the neck and stomach by an Israeli soldier when she wandered too close to
the fence while her parents were watching the election results on
television. Muhammad Saleh Abu-Alien was killed
after being shot in the back by an IDF soldier.
