Curfews and house demolitions have also led to violations of the right to life. On 21 June a Palestinian man aged 60 and two children, aged 11 and six, were killed in Jenin by a tank round. They came out to shop when the curfew was reportedly lifted. The Israeli Defense Forces have admitted that the shelling of the market place was a mistake. But it is not clear whether anyone will be held accountable for the killing. On the same day a 12-year-old child was crushed to death during an Israeli army demolition of a house in Jenin.
Israel appears to have resumed its policy of "targeted killings" of suspected members of Palestinian armed groups. On 24 June the car of an alleged Hamas activist in Rafah was attacked by a missile killing six people, including the driver of a passing car and the Hamas activist.
"Unlawful killings of Palestinians continue as a result of the virtually complete impunity offered to Israeli soldiers who kill Palestinians," said Amnesty International.
"Durable security cannot be addressed by more repression and more walls and barriers," commented Amnesty International. "It can only be achieved if the Human Rights of all are guaranteed."
