B'Tselem was established in February 1989 by a group of Israeli lawyers, doctors and academics with the support of a lobby of ten members of Knesset. Its objective was to document human rights violations in the occupied Palestinian territories (the Gaza Strip and the West Bank), while committing to the security and humanistic character of the State of Israel. Between December 1987 and December 1988, Israeli forces had killed 311 Palestinians, of whom 53 were under the age of 17. The killings occurred during a wave of Palestinian protest and rebellion in which 12 Israelis were also killed. The rebellion is referred to as the First Intifada. More information...
