The organization said that Israel is taking action against a number of civil rights, including restrictions on their movement, occupation of land, forced population-transfer and non-residence in Israel under this atrocity.
The report by Human Rights Watch revealed the fact that the territory between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea is the sole control of the Israeli government.
