Israel denies having any practice of collective punishment or apartheid in the West Bank, saying it seeks only to defeat armed Palestinian militants threatening its security.
The latest round of Israeli-Palestinian violence began on Oct 7 after Hamas militants stormed from Gaza into southern Israel, killing 1,200 and taking more than 250 hostages, according to Israeli figures.
Israel’s Gaza campaign has since demolished swathes of the enclave, and killed more than 40,500 people, Palestinian health officials say.
