Israeli soldiers shoot Palestinian boy dead in West Bank: Ministry
The Palestinian Health Ministry says the 11-year-old has been shot dead by Israeli forces in the town of ar-Rihiya, near Hebron, in the south of the occupied West Bank.
The ministry identified the boy as Muhammad Bahjat al-Hallaq.
Palestinians have faced an intensified wave of Israeli military and settler violence across the West Bank in the shadow of Israel’s war on Gaza.
Israeli forces raid two towns in occupied West Bank
Video footage verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking team shows Israeli forces storming the town of Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya city, in northern occupied West Bank. There, troops raided several homes without making any arrests.
In a separate incident, Israeli forces entered Beit Furik, east of Nablus. Verified footage shows Israeli military vehicles and soldiers in the streets of the town, where clashes erupted between Palestinian youths and Israeli forces.
Since the start of the war in Gaza, the number of the Israeli army’s raids, mass arrests and home demolitions has sharply increased to uproot Palestinians from their homes.
Israeli army says it killed Palestinian person in occupied West Bank
The Israeli army says it has killed a Palestinian person who it claimed had hurled an explosive device towards Israeli soldiers during a military raid in the city of Qabatiya in the northern occupied West Bank.
Since the start of the war in Gaza, at least 969 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank, according to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.
More than 3,200 Palestinians injured in West Bank this year: UN
The UN’s humanitarian affairs office (OCHA) says that represents an increase of about 28 percent compared with the same period last year.
As we’ve been reporting, Israeli military and settler violence has soared across the occupied West Bank amid Israel’s war on the Gaza Strip.
In its latest update on the situation, OCHA said at least 71 Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians were documented between October 7 and October 13 alone.
These attacks resulted in casualties, property damage or both, the UN agency said, while more than half of them – 36 in total – occurred in the context of the Palestinian olive harvest that began this month.
