January

• 1 January, 2015. Israeli forces at a checkpoint opened fire on, and critically wounded, a Palestinian youth as he was about to cross the road near the Burin intersection south of Nablus in the northern West Bank.

• On 3 January, Jamal Numan, a fisherman from al-Shati refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, was critically wounded when an Israeli warship machine-gunned his fishing boat off Rafah. The vessel was destroyed. Israeli sources claimed it was close to the Egyptian border and engaged in smuggling. Poverty among Gaza's fishermen has increased 40% since 2008, when Israel placed strict limits to the waters where they may fish.

Three Palestinian shepherds, Falah Youssef Bani Jaber, Ahmad Bani Jaber, and Judeh Bani Jaber of Yanun suffered wounds, respectively to hands and stomach when they were attacked by settlers and then fired on by Israeli forces near the Israeli outpost of Gidonim, an extension of the Itamar settlement. They Palestinians claimed they were seeking restitution of their stolen herds. Israeli sources claim they had fired in the air to quell a riot, and that the herds were later found, and had not been stolen.

• 4 January Local sources reported that Haytham Ziad Hijazi al-Rajabi (18) of Hebron was shot in the foot during clashes with Israeli forces at the Jabal Juhur neighborhood by a security guard from the Israeli settlement of Kiryat Arba.
• On January 6 a Palestinian teenager Noor Muhammad Hamid Zaaqiq (19) was shot in the left foot, reportedly after returningd from work at a gas station and was in front of his home, during an Israeli dawn raid to arrest and detain 6 people in the village of Beit Ummar.
• 8 January 2015. A 21 year old ultra-orthodox Jewish man was stabbed in the upper body by an assailant, using a screwdriver, while walking on Sultan Suleiman Street near the Damascus Gate. The assault is believed to be motivated by nationalist feelings, initial reports speaking of an Arab fleeing the scene.
