“This proves that the Israeli occupation is ongoing with its crimes against the Palestinian people”, the society reported.
Also, the society stated that additional thirty resident died at the Rafah border crossing after they were stranded there along with thousands of residents due to the Israeli closure of all crossing points leading to Gaza.

The Center demanded the Palestinian government, the factions and all security and civil institutions to cooperate and act together against all incidents of chaos and illegal attacks in order to end the cycle of internal violent clashes between Hamas and Fateh gunmen.
Furthermore, the Center reported that “As Israel released 256 detainees in July 20, the army escalated its attacks and arrested at least 300 residents”.
Nearly 56 residents were kidnapped by the army during invasions to the Gaza Strip, and the rest were kidnapped during invasions to several West Bank areas especially Ramallah, Jenin, Qalqilia, Tulkarem, Bethlehem and several other areas including Jerusalem and its surroundings.
The army also demolished dozens of houses in the occupied territories; most of the houses belong to families of resistance fighters and the army claimed that some of the demolished houses were illegal constructed.
At least 24 houses were demolished in “unrecognized villages” in the Negev and hundreds of residents were rendered homeless as the Israeli authorities are trying to evacuate those residents from their villages and expand its settlements in the Negev.
The Palestinian territories remained under strict siege imposed by the army and dozens of additional roadblocks were installed totally isolating the Palestinian areas from each other, while closures of border crossing continued to isolate the residents from the rest of the world.
