Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) has published a report about Israeli violations of the Road Map, a US-backed plan for Middle-East peace.

The Negotiations Affairs Department of the PLO declared in its report that Israel has carried out more than 2,500 attacks on the Palestinian residential areas in five month, from June 1 to October 31 2009.

Israeli forces have killed 29 Palestinians and wounded 135 others during the period. About 960 Palestinians were also arrested during the period.

Israel has also demolished 156 homes and other buildings in the occupied Palestinian territories during the 5-month period.

In addition, Israel has allocated $500 million for expansion of its settlements in the occupied Palestinian lands over the next two years.

Israel's expansionist policies and its aggression against Palestinians are considered the main hindrance to the Middle East peace process.
