'Israeli security forces use excessive force against
Palestinians in the West Bank and display "callous
disregard" for human life, Amnesty International said
Thursday.
'In a report called "Trigger-Happy: Israel’s Use of
Excessive Force in the West Bank," the human rights
organization says Israeli soldiers and police killed 45
Palestinians since 2011, nearly half of them last year.
'In all cases examined by the organization, the
Palestinians killed did not appear to pose a direct or
immediate threat to life, Amnesty said. In some cases,
the organization said it found “evidence that they were
victims of willful killings.”'
