In more news from the region, 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.
