179 Palestinians were shot and killed by Israeli forces and settlers in 2015, the Palestinian Heath Ministry said in a statement on Friday.

The Health Ministry said that 179 Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied al-Quds ('Jerusalem'), the occupied West Bank, the besieged Gaza Strip, and inside the 1948-occupied Palestine (within the Green Line').

Since the start of the anti-occupation Intifada in early October 2015, Israeli forces have killed 144 Palestinians including 27 minors and seven women.
