This is a list of individual incidents and statistical breakdowns of incidents of violence, including property damage and expropriation involving a violation of rights, taking place between Israel and Palestinians in 2015 as part of the ongoing Israeli–Palestinian conflict, but exclusive of particular events that fall within the parameters of any full outbreak of war hostilities. Housing demolitions are regarded by Israel as justified as a deterrent response to acts of terrorism or on the grounds that the houses in question in East Jerusalem, and the occupied West Bank were built without permits from the Israeli Military Authority governing the West Bank. The practice is condemned as discriminatory, a form of collective punishment, sometimes as a war crime in violation of international law, by the United Nations, many human rights organizations, the United Nations, and scholars such as Meron Benvenisti and Saree Makdisi. Israel has clashed with the EU's funding and construction of buildings for Palestinian residents in Area C, and ordered the demolition of 400 units saying that under international law, such structures do require Israeli permits.

Israeli media reported 11 Palestinian attacks, 6 involving stone-throwing and 3 the hurling of Molotov cocktails, on settlers and other Israelis in both the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The Israeli military administration razed 27 Palestinian structures in Area C of the West Bank, while 5 more were demolished in East Jerusalem, with 2 more demolished by their Palestinian owners to avoid fines, all due to the lack of Israeli-issued building permits. From 13–19 January, 25 Palestinians, of whom 10 were children and 3 women, were injured in clashes across the West Bank, 40% during protests against the Separation Barrier in Bil'in, the closure of the road to Kafr Qaddum and the road connecting the villages of Surif and Jab'a in the Hebron Governorate. 3 incidents involving Palestinians stoning Israeli vehicles were recorded for the same period. Israeli forces fired 19 times in the same period in the direction of Palestinians found venturing into the Access Restricted Areas (ARA) of the Gaza Strip.

Brian Frederking, The United Nations and US Foreign Policy: Collective Security Since the Cold War, Routledge 2007 p.157:'Most definitions say that terrorism is an intentional act of violence against persons and/or property, and it is intended to intimidate a population or influence government policy. . The Israeli-Palestinian conflict has greatly complicated this dispute. While those on one side interpret Palestinian acts of violence (particularly those suicide bombers that kill Israeli civilians) as clear acts of terrorism, those on the other side interpret Palestinian resistance to Israeli occupation as a legitimate act of national struggle. Conversely, while one side interprets Israeli policies in the occupied territories as state terrorism, the other side considers Israel to be acting in self-defense. Each side wants a definition of terrorism that implicates only the other side.'

'Israel's Policy of Demolishing Palestinian Homes Must End: A Submission to the UN Human Rights Council by the Israeli Committee against House Demotion,' ICAHD March 2012:'Since 1967 Israel has demolished more than 28,000 Palestinian homes, businesses, livestock facilities and other structures vital to Palestinian life and livelihood in the Occupied Palestinian Territory. The motivation for demolishing these homes is purely political, and racially informed: to either drive the Palestinians out of the country altogether (the "quiet transfer") or to confine the four million residents of the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza to small, crowded, impoverished and disconnected enclaves . .Allocating land for military training is not confined to unpopulated areas but can occur in the heart of Palestinian residential communities. In the remaining 30% of the land, intended construction is conditional on complementarity with a plan endorsed by the Israeli Civil Administration, of which less than 1% satisfies this requirement. Thus Palestinians are faced with the choice of building irregularly or leaving their communities. This policy is violently enforced with the demolition of homes and other infrastructure such as schools and health clinics being a regular occurrence.'
7. 'As safe as houses? Israel's demolition of Palestinian homes,' Amnesty International, June 2010:'Palestinians living under Israeli occupation in East Jerusalem and the rest of the west bank face such tight restrictions on what they can build that their right to adequate housing is being violated. the Israeli authorities condemn as "illegal" homes and other structures built without the permits that they control and rarely allow to Palestinian residents, and then order their destruction. Demolition crews, accompanied by security officials, may arrive at any time, giving families little notice or opportunity to remove their possessions. Under Israeli military law applied to Palestinians in most of the west bank, evicted families are not rehoused or compensated. So, those evicted would face homelessness and destitution were it not for relatives, friends and charities. Palestinians in East Jerusalem fare little better under the Israeli civil authorities. .Violations of the right to adequate housing experienced by Palestinians in the oPt are both a symptom of the wider human rights violations to which Palestinians are subject and a barrier to their achievement of other human rights.. .As the occupying power, the actions of Israel in the oPt are also bound by the fourth Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in time of War to which Israel is a signatory. Article 53 prohibits destruction of property that is not justified by military necessity.'

The same requirement does not apply to homes of Jewish settlers, however. According to a statement by the Israeli Committee Against Home Demolitions, 'With three unusual exceptions, in the past 30 years NO Jewish house non the West Bank has ever been threatened with demolition. . Israeli settlers are citizens of Israel and are subject only to Israeli law. None of the planning guidelines, procedures for obtaining building permits from the civilian administration or house demolition penalties applies to them. The first 21 Jewish settlements on the West Bank were done so without plans or permits and, indeed, against the stated policies and wishes of the Israeli government.'

B'tselem has remarked that, even were that interpretation correct, the lands declared state lands are ‘public property belonging to the lawful residents of the West Bank, and as occupying power Israel is required to administer them for the benefit of that public, rather than denying Palestinians access to those lands while allocating to them to exclusive Jewish use and settlement.'
