Since the beginning of the year, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict has claimed the lives of 43 Palestinians (including fighters and civilians, including minors), six Israelis (including one minor) and one Ukrainian woman, according to an AFP tally based on in official Israeli and Palestinian sources.
