Israel kills 11 Palestinian women since 2015: B’Tselem
As ongoing tensions across Palestine after Israel shot dead many unarmed Palestinians on Sunday, Israel’s leading human rights group B’Tselem has emphasized the names of 11 Palestinian women who were murdered by Israel at military checkpoints since 2015, before admitting that none of the targets posed a threat to them.
