On 23 January, a Palestinian woman was killed and a boy died of wounds he sustained a few days earlier, both by live ammunition fired by Israeli forces in the West Bank. During the reporting period, Israeli forces injure 67 Palestinians in the West Bank and four others in the Gaza Strip. Also in the West Bank, settlers damage more than 280 plants belonging to Palestinians. Israeli authorities demolish over 100 Palestinian-owned structures, displacing around 180 Palestinians. In Gaza, three workers died in tunnel collapse.
