(1) Israeli Rimon Prison security forces "viciously attacked" Palestinian prisoners "looking for hidden cellular phones." Beatings followed. Personal belongings were destroyed. Prisoners were isolated in solitary confinement. Other punishments were imposed.

Palestinian minister of prisoners' affairs, Issa Qaraqi, accused Israel of targeting prisoners for "political gains."

(2) Israeli bulldozers razed Hassan Erekat's agricultural land. Irrigation networks were destroyed. They were the main water source for land northeast of Jericho. Doing so was malicious and criminal. Reasons given were spurious.

(3) Homes of West Bank activists were raided. The Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) said 17 of its members were arrested in Jenin, its refugee camp, area villages, and Kufr Malik village east of Ramallah.

On November 21, WAFA monitored "incitement and racism" in Israeli publications. One article said releasing Palestinian "murderers" in the Gilad Shalit swap damaged Israel's "legitimacy of our fight against terrorism."

Another same day report said Jewish extremists broke into Jaffa's Hasan Beik mosque "to perform Jewish prayer" inside. Doing so was lawless breaking and entering. Damage done was vandalism. 

Israeli authorities turned a blind eye like they always do, inciting further incidents. Israeli hard-liners earlier tried to torch the mosque. No prosecutions followed.

Numerous reports say Gaza patients can't access treatment abroad when it's unavailable otherwise. Last summer, children needing life-saving surgery were denied. So are others for political reasons, targeting human need maliciously.
