-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

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. This left nearly 900 Palestinians homeless. The
demolitions are continuing. On Tuesday, Israeli forces demolished part

Jerusalem.
