Israeli forces have shot and critically wounded several Palestinians, including a Palestinian child in the occupied West Bank as the Tel Aviv regime presses ahead with a large-scale onslaught against the occupied Palestinian territory.

The nine-year-old girl was critically wounded in the head by live bullets fired by Israeli forces in the town of Qusra, in Nablus governorate in the northern occupied West Bank on Wednesday, Ma'an news agency reported.

The regime troopers also shot and wounded a 20-year-old woman in the head in the same area, while wounding a 14-year-old boy during a violent raid on the village of ar-Rihiya near al-Khalil.

Meanwhile, several Palestinians suffered suffocation from teargas canisters fired by Israeli soldiers who raided the town of al-Khader, south of the West Bank city of Bethlehem, the official Palestinian Wafa news agency reported.

According to the report, Israeli military troops forced their way into the town, deploying along the road connecting al-Quds with al-Khalil and in the al-Bawaba area, firing live ammunition and teargas canisters at civilians' houses and stores, causing several cases of suffocation.

Separately, on Wednesday evening, the Israeli military deployed two Eitan armored vehicles in Tulkarm, advancing from the Einav checkpoint at the eastern entrance of Anabta. They entered the town, patrolling the main road, and intercepting vehicles, Wafa reported.

It added that two other armored vehicles entered Tulkarm from the Jbara military checkpoint, south of the city, advanced toward the Shobaki junction, and then proceeded to the village of Shufa.

In another development, Israeli settlers on Wednesday raided the Arab al-Mlaihat village in the Ma'arjat area, northwest of the West Bank city of Ariha, wandering through the villagers' dwellings and spreading panic in the community.

Now in its 44th day, the large-scale onslaught by the occupying regime's forces has claimed the lives of dozens of Palestinian people in various parts of the West bank, particularly in in Jenin and its refugee camp, and Tulkarm.

The ongoing aggression has also led to the forced displacement of residents and widespread destruction of infrastructure and homes, with around 120 houses completely destroyed and dozens more partially damaged.
