Israeli forces kill elderly Palestinian in West Bank
RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – An elderly Palestinian was shot dead by Israeli army in the West Bank city of Hebron on Monday, the Health Ministry said.
A ministry statement said a 66-year-old man was killed by a bullet in the head.
Palestinians shared a video on social media platforms of a taxi driver covered in blood in central Hebron.
Witnesses said the man was shot near the headquarters of the Islamic Charitable Society during a military raid in the town of Yata, south of Hebron.
Israeli forces also rounded up several Palestinians in military raids in the cities of Nablus, Jenin, Qalqilya, Bethlehem, Hebron and Ramallah, according to witnesses.
Tensions have been high across the West Bank since October 7 amid an Israeli military offensive on the Gaza Strip. At least 187 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the occupied territory since the onset of the Gaza war, according to Palestinian figures.
Israel has killed more than 11,100 Palestinians, including more than 8,000 children and women, in air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since last month, the government media office in Gaza records.
