West Bank

Killings: According to Al-Haq documentation, from the outbreak of the second Intifada in September 2000 until the end of December 2012, 1,948 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank, of whom 381 were children and 106 female. It is estimated that 313 Palestinians were killed in targeted assassinations.

Housing Demolitions: During the same period, Al-Haq documented a total of 588 punitive house demolitions in the West Bank (512 completely demolished, 70 partially demolished and six completely sealed), leading to the displacement of 3,378 people. Israel has also carried out a large number of house demolitions based on claims that the houses were built without the required permits (administrative house demolition). Since 2004, the Israeli authorities have demolished 1,386 houses due to the lack of a building permit; of which 373 were in East Jerusalem, leading to the displacement of 4,347 people.
