Palestine homes destroyed by Israel in 2016 highest in 12yrs
Israel destroyed 274 Palestinian homes in West Bank and 73 in East Jerusalem last year, the highest in 12 years, leaving 1,429 people homeless, rights group B'Tselem revealed in a report. It is a part of Israeli policy aimed at making living conditions for Palestinians unbearable and forcing them to leave, B'Tselem said. However, Israeli authorities have denied the accusations.
