Ramallah, August 3 (RHC)-- A Palestinian rights organization has detailed Israeli rights violations against Palestinians, saying that Israeli forces killed at least seven Palestinians and kidnapped another 316 in the month of July.

A report published on Sunday by Ahrar Center for Detainees’ Studies and Human Rights said that at least six people were killed across the occupied West Bank while one Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The report also pointed to the recent killing of an 18-month-old Palestinian baby in an arson attack by Israeli settlers against a Palestinian house in the village of Duma, south of Nablus, in the early hours of July 31st. The report further said that Israeli forces kidnapped at least 113 people in Jerusalem and abducted 11 Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip in July.

Nearly 200 people were also abducted in the West Bank cities of Hebron, Ramallah, Bethlehem, Nablus, Jenin, Tulkarem, and Qalqilia in the same period. At least 20 children and 16 women were among those abducted last month, the report added. Two homes were set ablaze in an arson attack by Israeli settlers in the Palestinian village of Duma, south of Nablus, over the weekend.

The report also exposed other human rights violations committed by the Tel Aviv regime against Palestinians. Israeli forces regularly launch deadly attacks on Palestinians in their homes as well as during protests.

In addition, Israeli settlers, mostly armed, regularly attack Palestinian villages and farms and set fire to their mosques, olive groves and other properties in the West Bank.
