Early Friday, another Palestinian died from wounds he sustained in January from Israeli forces near Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.
In the last few years, the Israeli military has conducted regular raids in the West Bank, which have escalated with the beginning of the onslaught against the Gaza Strip on October 7. Palestinians have also been violently attacked by illegal Israeli settlers.
At least 578 Palestinians have since been killed and nearly 5,350 injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry. (T/RE1/P2)
