Eight Palestinians, including a 10-year old boy, were killed by the IDF in Gaza, and a 56-year-old man who was injured in an February 7 raid in Qabatiya died of his wounds. Three air strikes were conducted in Gaza, down from 15 the previous week.
Eight Bedouin tents were demolished, resulting in the displacement of 76 people. At all 77 flying checkpoints and ten others, the IDF prevented Palestinian males from 16 to 35 from crossing into the southern West Bank and the Jordan Valley.
A total of 110 curfew hours were imposed on West Bank communities, 70 of which were in the village of Azzun. The IDF conducted 108 search operations and arrested 19 Palestinians, two of whom were in Gaza. On the morning of the 13th, the IDF conducted a series of raids throughout the West Bank, briefly detaining as many as 56 Palestinians, most of whom were in Hebron.
On February 17, four Palestinians were killed and another nine were wounded when the IDF invaded al-Shouka village in the Gaza Strip.
Israel once again toughened its blockade of Gaza. The fuel shortage subsequently became so dire that ambulances could no longer operate.
