Faris Odeh (pictured 10 days before his death) was shot and killed while throwing stones at Israeli soldiers in the Gaza Strip on 8 November 2000.

Since 1976, at least 95 Palestinians have been killed and many more have been critically injured by Israeli soldiers and police in events during which stones and Molotov cocktails are alleged to have been thrown. Attacks by stones and Molotov cocktails have resulted in death or injuries of several Israelis, including children. Such shootings have taken place in the Occupied territories of the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and in East Jerusalem. Amid the Al-Aqsa Intifada in 2003, the Or Commission recommended that live fire not be used for crowd dispersal, and be reserved for circumstances of "clear and immediate mortal danger" to troops. In 2015 Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyahu asked Attorney General Yehuda Weinstein to approve the use of live fire against stone-throwers in East Jerusalem. Critics say the use of gunfire to suppress protests is excessive and designed to repress Palestinian resistance.

1970s

1976: six deaths

• 30 March 1976 Six Palestinian citizens of Israel were killed amid throwing of molotov cocktails and stones during a protest march over government expropriation of Arab land in the Galilee. "Hundreds were injured and hundreds more arrested. An unknown number of police and IDF troops were also injured in the protests-turned-riots,". 30 March has come to be called Land Day among Palestinians and is a major annual nationalist commemoration.

1980s

1987: one death

• 12 October 1987 Amayat Hindi (35) was shot and killed by an Israeli border policeman who opened fire on a stone throwing protest at Manara Square in Ramallah, the West Bank. Israeli police started shooting after protesters threw stones at a vehicle "slightly injuring a Jewish woman." Mrs. Hindi was looking for her five children at the time she was shot. An Israeli officer in Ramallah told Army Radio that she was not protesting or throwing stones herself. Five other Palestinians were injured.

1988: fourteen deaths

• In early 1988, the Israeli military briefly pursued a beating strategy to deter stone throwing. The US State Department wrote in its annual report on global human rights practices: "Soldiers turned many people out of their homes at night, making them stand for hours, and rounded up men and boys and beat them in reprisal for stone-throwings. At least 13 Palestinians have been reported to have died from beatings. By mid-April reports of deliberate breaking of bones had ended, but reports of unjustifiably harsh beatings continued."
• January 1988 Israel Defense Force Col. Yehuda Meir ordered his men to round up 20 Palestinians in Beita and Huwara villages near Nablus in the West Bank and break bones in the men's arms and legs to punish them for throwing stones and "inciting." When Col. Meir went on trial for his actions he defended them as having been ordered by then Israeli Defense Minister Yitzhak Rabin. Under oath, IDF Capt. Victor Sudhai agreed with Meir, saying he heard Rabin order: "I want you to catch stone throwers and break their arms and legs, but not their heads." In 1991, an Israeli military court found Meir guilty of brutality and punished him by reducing his rank to private and kicking him out of the military.
• 7 February 1988 Iyad Akal (variously reported as 17- or 20-years-old) was beaten to death by Israeli soldiers in Gaza while detained. He and his cousin Khaled were taken from the family home in the Burayj refugee camp on suspicion of participating in stone throwing riots. At the time, Israel had a formal military policy that called for beating Palestinians for stone throwing. Four soldiers from the Israeli military's Givati Brigade were sentenced to up to two months in jail and reductions in rank in October 1990. The defendants argued that they were following orders from superior officers.
• 8 February 1988 Khader Fuad Tarazi (19) was beaten to death by Israeli soldiers in Gaza City. "The guy was so out of it, one soldier had to support his head while others beat him," the New York Times quoted a witness as saying. The Israeli military said Mr. Tarazi was throwing stones at soldiers; his family said he was merely passing by a protest. "Cousins who said they had witnessed the beating said Terazi had been clubbed repeatedly over the head by soldiers until his mouth bled and his eyes rolled up," The Washington Post reported. The army initially said Tarazi had died of a heart attack. But in September 1988 acknowledged he had been beaten and charged an officer, two enlisted men and an Israeli army doctor. The four were later acquitted.
• 30 December 1988 Abdel Khalim Behid (22) was shot and killed by Israeli troops in Gaza City in the Gaza Strip. Behid was among protesters after Friday prayers who raised the Palestinian flag and threw stones at Israeli troops. "Arab reporters said soldiers used clubs, rubber bullets and live ammunition to break up the protest," The Los Angeles Times reported. Israeli soldiers wounded four other protesters.

1989: six deaths

• 19 August 1989 Radi Saleh (24) was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers posing as foreign tourists in Bethlehem in the West Bank after he threw rocks at an Israeli military patrol. Four other Palestinians with him were shot and wounded. Israel denied the existence of undercover soldiers and its involvement in Saleh's killing at the time. Two Reuters reporters and one from The Financial Times has their press credentials pulled by the government for reporting on the incident. In 1991 Israel acknowledged both the event and the practice. "We do what we have to do," a senior Israeli officer told The New York Times, explaining the deception. "Now they will be aware of the fact that nothing is secured. No one they see around can be immediately identified as a friend or an enemy," Nachman Shai, the Israeli military's chief spokesman at the time, said in explaining the tactic.
• 21 August 1989 Nassar Halil Shahin (15) was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers during an outbreak of stone throwing in the Amari refugee camp in the West Bank.
• 22 August 1989 Maha Awad abu Hadath (20) was killed by an Israeli bullet during a clash between stone throwing Palestinians and Israeli soldiers in the Deir al Balah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip. Ms. Hadath was a bystander.

1990s

1990: eighteen deaths

• 28 May 1990 Badur Karadi (42) was shot and killed by a rubber bullet fired by an Israeli soldier as she stood in front of her home in the Nas al-Ein neighborhood of Nablus in the West Bank. The Israeli military said that it was a shot intended for "rioters who were throwing stones at a military ambulance" that "went awry" and that no action would be taken against the soldier involved.
• 8 October 1990 at least 17 Palestinians are shot and killed by Israel Police at the Temple Mount complex during the 1990 Temple Mount riots. Many of the Palestinians were throwing stones at Jews in a protest that erupted amid rumors that an Israeli group was going to lay a cornerstone for a Third Temple on the site of the Al-Aqsa Mosque. The Israeli police responded with live ammunition and in addition to the 17 Palestinians killed, scores more were injured. In 1991 Israeli investigating judge Ezra Kama criticized the handling of the affair, particularly by senior police officers, but found no grounds to prosecute any of the police involved.

1992: four deaths

• 1 April 1992 Muhammad Isma'il abd as-Salaam al-Ja'afreh (15) was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers in Tarqumia Village near Hebron in the West Bank. Ja'afreh was among a group of boys who threw stones and bottles at an Israeli army jeep that entered and stopped in the Tarqumia town square. The jeep remained in position for about 45 minutes while the boys threw stones. Then an undercover military Peugeot station wagon arrived and a group of armed men dismounted and gave chase as the boys fled, Palestinian witnesses said. Ja'afreh was killed with a shot to the chest in an alley near the square. In May 1993 the Israeli Defense Forces told Human Rights Watch that it had determined that the killing of Ja'afreh was justified because the soldier who shot him "reasonably felt threatened by a large rock that he believed al-Ja'afreh was about to throw at him."
• 7 May 1992 Mahmoud 'Issa Shalaldeh (16) was shot and killed by Israeli undercover soldiers in Sa'ir, near Hebron in the West Bank. An Israeli undercover military van had ventured near the local school, where Palestinian youths were playing football. The van's occupants hoisted an Israeli flag. The youths responded with stone throwing from about 75 meters away. An occupant of the van responded with gunfire, wounding Amin Jaradat (16) in the leg. Shalaldeh flagged down a passing Palestinian Peugeot and helped his wounded friend in, with the car heading toward a health clinic in the village of Shuyoukh. The van gave chase. After about 1 kilometer the Peugeot stopped and Shalaldeh got out and tried to flee up a slope along the road. One of the soldiers in the van got out, briefly gave chase and then shot Shalaldeh in the head. The Israeli Defense Forces' (IDF) initial statement on the incident was that the two boys were shot while throwing stones and that neither had died. In December 1992 the IDF conceded that Shalaldeh had died and that he hadn't been throwing stones at the time he was shot.
• 10 October 1992 Issam al-Khatib (18) was shot by Israeli soldiers at Al-Ram in the West Bank. He died from his wounds on 23 October.

• 23 November 1992 Amjad abd ar-Razeq Thalji Jabbar (12) was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier at Al-Ram in the West Bank. The soldiers were looking for Palestinian high school students who had thrown rocks at an Israeli bus. When the soldiers stopped their car to confront Jabbar and friends, the boys fled. One of the Israeli soldiers shot Jabbar in the back, killing him. On 25 November Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Moshe Ya'alon, then head of Israeli forces in the West Bank, had decided that the killing was unjustified and ordered an internal investigation. A soldier identified only as "Second Lt. Ofir" was court-martialed. He was sentenced to three months in prison and three months of work release in the army. He retained his rank.

1994: two deaths

• 3 April 1994 Shafiq Maher Mahmud a-Shawa (10) was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier in the Shuja'iyya neighborhood of the Gaza Strip. Israel's Office of the Military Advocate General said that Shawa either "took part in or happened to be in the area where stones were being thrown and rioting was going on."

• 24 June 1994 'Azam Jamil Hamed Nasasreh (18) was shot and killed by an Israeli soldier in Nablus in the West Bank.

• 7 July 2001 Khalil al-Mughrabi (11) was killed by a large caliber bullet fired from an Israeli army tank at the Yubneh refugee camp at Rafah in the Gaza Strip. Mughrabi was among a group of boys playing football; two of his companions were seriously wounded in the attack as well, with wounds to their abdomen and testicles, respectively. The Israeli military initially said it had been firing in the area to disperse rioters throwing stones and grenades. The Israeli military later determined that neither Mughrabi nor the other boys he was with were throwing stones or near anyone else throwing stones at the time of the shooting, and that the shooting was unjustifiable. Israeli investigator Maj. Holi Moshe determined that the stone throwing in the area had stopped multiple hours prior to the shooting and that many regulations had been broken by Israeli troops, including firing warning shots at children. Nevertheless, he determined that it couldn't be proven that the Israeli military shot the boys and the army decided to pursue no legal action against the soldiers involved.
