[ 07/07/2011 - 03:22 PM ] OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The Israeli Population Registry said Thursday that there are more than 334,000 Jewish settlers in the West Bank.
According to Israeli media outlets, data suggests that the greatest hike in settler population was recorded in Kiryat Sever.
But the figure does not include settlements surrounding occupied Jerusalem. The latest data shows that nearly 180,000 Jews have settled there, placing the number of Jewish settlers in the territories occupied after 1967 at over a half million.
In previous reports published in October 2010, a significant increase in the settler population of the West Bank was highlighted in light of the settlement moratorium that year.
[ 07/07/2011 - 03:27 PM ] According a report released by the society on Thursday, there was a marked increase in the kidnapping of Palestinian minors this year and their number rose to 350 children.
19 Palestinian lawmakers from Hamas Movement were also among the detainees who were kidnapped during this year.
The society appealed to the international community to necessarily and actively intervene to curb Israel's persistent violation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian lands.
