Nabi Saleh (City)

Residents of the village of Nabi Saleh, with solidarity from other Palestinian, Israeli and international activists, hold weekly non-violent demonstrations to demand an end to Israeli occupation and its associated policy of illegal settlement expansion. The Israeli security forces frequently meet these demonstrations with excessive and unnecessary force: since 2009 they have killed two protesters and injured hundreds of others. The army’s excessive use of force against the demonstrations affects the whole village and may constitute collective punishment, outlawed by the Fourth Geneva Convention
