At least two Palestinians were killed by the Israeli army on Sunday in nighttime raids on at least five towns and refugee camps in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Red Crescent said.
According to the organization, a 45-year-old man was killed in Jenin, a city in the northern Palestinian territory that was occupied by Israel for 56 years and was recently the scene of deadly clashes between Israeli soldiers and Palestinian fighters.
A second man was killed in the Dheicheh camp in Bethlehem, south of Jerusalem.
According to the same source, two teenagers, aged 16 and 17, were injured by Israeli bullets in Balata, the refugee camp in Nablus, the major northern city that is home to 24,000 people, according to the UN, which manages the camp.
On Saturday, the Israeli army killed five Palestinian fighters in a very rare airstrike.
According to the Red Crescent, three more Palestinians were shot and injured in Israeli army raids in Kalandia, a refugee camp on the border with Jerusalem, and in a village near Toubas in the northeast.
The Israeli army contacted by AFP did not immediately comment.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, more than 200 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli settlers and soldiers in the West Bank since October 7.
On October 7, Hamas, which seized power in Gaza in 2007, launched an unprecedented attack on Israeli soil that killed 1,200 people, mostly civilians, according to Israeli authorities. In response, the Israeli army decided to “annihilate” the Palestinian Islamist movement and has been relentlessly bombing the Gaza Strip ever since. According to the Hamas government, at least 12,300 Palestinians were killed, two-thirds of them women and children.
