A controversial report issued by the Israeli army this week claims that only 29 of the 148 Palestinian civilians killed in the West Bank in 2004 were "innocent". Critics call the report 'misleading', as it includes children throwing stones as 'armed militants', and fails to include the Gaza Strip, where the vast majority of fatalities took place this year.
We interviewed Sarit Michaeli of the Israeli organization B'Tselem.
B'Tselem's numbers show that 187 Palestians were killed in the West Bank this year, two thirds of whom did not participate in fighting.
Since the beginning of the current intifada in September 2000,
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society has confirmed 3,465 Palestinian deaths and 28,230 injuries .
