At least 70 Palestinians killed by Israel in occupied West Bank in 2025
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – At least 70 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks in the occupied West Bank since the start of this year, the Palestinian Health Ministry has stated.
The victims included 10 children, one woman and two elderly people, the ministry added in a statement.
The ministry said that 38 people were killed in Jenin, 15 in Tubas, six in Nablus, five in Tulkarem, three in Hebron, two in Bethlehem and one in East Jerusalem.
On January 21, the Israeli army launched an assault on Jenin city and its refugee camp, killing at least 26 Palestinians. The offensive was later expanded to the city of Tulkarem, where at least three Palestinians were killed.
The Israeli escalation in the West Bank came after a so-called cease-fire and a prisoner exchange deal took hold in Gaza on January 19, following 15 months of Israel’s genocidal war that killed over 47,500 Palestinians and reduced the enclave to rubble.
Since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza in October 2023, more than 900 Palestinians have been killed across the West Bank in attacks by Israeli forces and illegal Jewish settlers.
