At least eight Palestinians killed in Israeli raids on West Bank towns

Israeli forces have killed at least eight Palestinians in separate raids on West Bank towns as the regime’s violence in the occupied territory shows no sign of abating.

The Palestinian Health Ministry said on Tuesday that two 19-year-olds succumbed to their wounds after they were shot by occupation troopers during early morning raid in the town of Aqqaba, north of Tubas, Wafa news agency reported.

The report added that a 14-year-old Palestinian boy and a 37-year-old man lost their lives due to Israeli gunfire.

Seven people were also wounded in the attack.

During the Aqqabah raid, the Israeli forces surrounded a house and fired live bullets at young Palestinians who tried to resist the incursion.

Also, the Palestinian Red Crescent said, "Four martyrs and three wounded, one of whom is very critical, due to the occupation's shelling of two vehicles in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin."

Since Israel unleashed a genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in early October 2023, casualties have been rising in the West Bank as a result of intensified near-daily raids by the regime troops into Palestinian towns.

More than 600 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank by Israeli forces since the beginning of Israel’s Gaza onslaught.

At least 39,623 Palestinians, most of them women and children, have also been killed in Israeli attacks across the besieged Gaza over the past 10 months.
