Tel Aviv, January 8 (RHC)-- The Israeli human rights group B’Tselem reports 2021 was the deadliest year for Palestinians since 2014, as Israeli forces killed 313 Palestinians last year, including 71 minors. In addition, Israel demolished nearly 300 residential structures in the occupied West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem last year — the highest number since 2016.
According to the human rights group, nearly 900 Palestinians were left homeless over the past year, as the demolitions are continuing. On Tuesday, Israeli forces demolished part of a healthcare center which serves 20,000 people in occupied East Jerusalem.
