In Occupied Palestine - 7 September 2023

While the Occupation is business as usual for Israel,

there should be no business with Israel

In Occupied Palestine

Zionism in practice

Israel’s Daily Toll on Palestinian Life, Limb, Liberty and Land

(Compiled by Leslie Bravery, Palestine Human Rights Campaign, Auckland, New Zealand)

07 September 2023 {Main source of statistics: Palestinian Monitoring Group (PMG):

https://www.nad.ps/en/violations-reports/daily-report NB:The period covered by this newsletter is taken from the PMG's 24-hour sitrep ending 8am the day after the above date.}

We shall always do our best to verify the accuracy of all items in these IOP newsletters/reports wherever possible [e.g. we often suspect that names of people and places that we see in the PMG sitreps could be typos; also the translation into English seems rather odd ~ but since we, sadly, do not speak Arabic, we have no alternative but to copy and paste these names from the PMG sitreps!] – please forgive us for any errors or omissions – Leslie and Marian.

IMPORTANT: Please note the following, concerning our previous In Occupied Palestine newsletter: Our sincere apologies for the third headline down 'Israeli Army positions open fire on Gaza farmland' that was inadvertently inserted into our IOP newsletter for 6 September 2023. No such attack was reported at that time.

Israel's 'slay-for-play' must be stopped

For many Israelis, killing Palestinians with impunity is a state-sponsored sport.
