A recent surge in violence in the occupied West Bank has resulted in the deaths of five Palestinians, according to a statement released by the Palestinian health ministry. The fatalities occurred during an Israeli airstrike on the Nur Shams refugee camp near Tulkarm, which targeted a militant operations center.
In a separate incident, a Palestinian individual was critically injured after being shot by Israeli settlers in the Wadi Rahal area near Bethlehem. The Palestinian Red Crescent reported the incident.
The West Bank has witnessed a significant increase in clashes since the outbreak of the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza last year. Israeli forces have intensified their operations against armed militant groups, including Hamas and Islamic Jihad, leading to the arrest of thousands of Palestinians and the deaths of at least 637 individuals. The victims include armed fighters, stone-throwing youths, and uninvolved civilians.
In the same period, at least 30 Israelis, including civilians and soldiers, have been killed by Palestinians in Jerusalem and the West Bank.
