According to a rights group in the Occupied Palestinian Territories, more than 7,400 people have been killed by "Israeli"-Palestinian violence since the outbreak of the second Palestinian uprising 10 years ago this month.
The vast majority of the 7,454 killed were Palestinians, who accounted for 6,371, or about 85 per cent, of the total, the B'Tselem human rights group said on Monday in a statement. Of the Palestinian dead, 1,317 were minors.
The Palestinian toll includes at least 2,996 people who were not taking part in hostilities when they were killed, the group said.
The remainder include 694 people who may or may not have been fighters, in addition to 240 who were assassinated and 248 police employed by the Hamas-run government who were killed during the 2008-2009 Gaza war.
Today, Tuesday marks the 10th anniversary of the second Intifada, or uprising.
