Israeli forces have carried out new raids into several areas of the occupied West Bank, killing at least five Palestinians.
Two Palestinians were killed in a town south of al-Khalil on Monday. The Palestinian Health Ministry said Moataz Mahmoud Atbeish, 30, was killed during confrontations with Israeli forces in Dura. Muhannad Ismail al-Fasfous, 18, succumbed to wounds sustained from Israeli gunfire in the same town.
The regime also carried out a separate raid into Jenin, killing another Palestinian. Palestinian media said Thaer Naeem Hamo, 21, was shot in the abdomen by Israeli soldiers. He was taken to Hadaf Medical Center, where doctors treated him but failed to save him.
The fourth victim of the Israeli violence, Rani Yasser Khalaf al-Shaer, 16, was a student who was killed by the regime forces in the Khirbet al-Deir area near Bethlehem.
Another Palestinian identified as Obaida Hassan Abdel Rahman Hamed, 18, was shot dead during a military raid in the town of Silwad, east of Ramallah.
Israel has carried out such raids in the West Bank on an almost daily basis since early October. And the regime has killed over 370 Palestinians there since.
More Palestinians are killed in the Gaza Strip as Israel defies international calls to stop its hostilities. At least 350 Palestinians have been killed over the past 48 hours.
Israel has killed more than 26,600 people in Gaza since early October.
According to the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, more than 25,000 kids have lost one or both parents in Gaza since October 7.
A Palestinian armed faction has reported that it shot down an Israeli drone over southern Gaza. The Mujahideen Brigades also said it bombed an Israeli aviation base in the southern occupied Palestinian territories.
