JERUSALEM

Israeli forces have killed 133 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem and surrounding areas since Oct. 7.

Alongside their attacks in Gaza, Israel have been continuously conducting a series of raids and detentions targeting Palestinians on various grounds in the West Bank and East Jerusalem since Oct.7.

Israeli forces persist in their violations in the West Bank, Jerusalem and its surroundings, including killing, arrests, damage to Palestinian properties, and infrastructure in the region. These violations have intensified in recent times.

The military increased their raids against Palestinians in all cities of the occupied West Bank, especially Tulkarem and Jenin, and destroyed Palestinian buildings in the Nour Shams and Jenin refugee camps, causing great damage to vehicles and property.

During this period, 13 Palestinians in Jerusalem and its suburbs, 24 in Tulkarem in the West Bank, 21 in Jenin, 21 in Nablus, 18 in Ramallah, 15 in Hebron, 5 in Jericho, 6 in Qalqilya, 5 in Tubas, 4 in Bethlehem and 1 in Al-Birah lost their lives in Israeli attacks.

1,900 Palestinians were detained by Israeli forces in the incidents that broke out during the operations and raids.

- Jewish settlers kill 8 Palestinians

During this period, there were 300 attacks against Palestinians by Jewish settlers in the West Bank. In the attacks of Jewish settlers, 8 Palestinians lost their lives, 6 of them in the Qusra town of Nablus.

Since Oct. 7, 133 Palestinians have been killed and more than 1,000 Palestinians have been injured in attacks by Israeli forces and Jewish settlers in the West Bank, Jerusalem and the surrounding areas.

Clashes and direct confrontations between the Israeli army and fighters of Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian group Hamas which carried out a surprise cross-border attack in Israel on Oct. 7, have escalated, particularly at the Erez crossing, the border point between northern Gaza and Israel, since Tuesday.
