West Bank Violence Escalates 10 Palestinians Killed Amid Gaza Conflict

West Bank Violence Escalates 10 Palestinians Killed Amid Gaza Conflict

Two Palestinians were killed in the city of Jenin, four others in a nearby village, and four more in a refugee camp near the town of Tubas, said the Red Crescent’s Ahmed Jibril.

He added that 15 others had been wounded.

The operation comes two days after Israel said it carried out an air strike on the West Bank that the Palestinian Authority reported killed five people.

Violence in the West Bank has surged alongside the war in Gaza, with more than 640 Palestinians killed by Israeli troops and settlers since Hamas’s October 7 attack, according to an AFP tally based on Palestinian health ministry figures.

At least 19 Israelis have been killed in retaliation attacks by Hamas fighters during the same period, according to Israeli officials.
