In Israel and the Occupied Territories, at least two Palestinians were killed and one Israeli critically wounded in violence earlier today. In Gaza City, Israeli bulldozers plowed through Palestinian fields and irrigation systems, destroying land and knocking off power to several neighborhoods. On Monday, U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour visited Gaza and denounced what she called Israel’s “massive” violation of Palestinian rights.

U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights Louise Arbour: “I came here, first of all, to express my sympathies, my condolences, and to show the concern of the whole of the United Nations for civilians, that—I think this speaks for itself, how exposed and vulnerable they are. There, the violations of human rights, I think, in these territories is massive, from economic and social rights to this vulnerability to this violence that is totally out of control.”
