ANKARA (AA) – Two more Palestinians were killed in the West Bank on Monday, taking the death toll from Israeli fire in the occupied territory since Oct. 7 to 122, the Health Ministry said.
A ministry statement said a 23-year-old man was shot dead by Israeli forces at the entrance of Yata town, south of Hebron city.
The fatality occurred when Israeli forces used live fire and tear gas canisters against Palestinian residents, according to witnesses.
Another Palestinian succumbed to injuries he sustained in an attack by Israeli settlers near Ramallah city last week, the Health Ministry said.
Early Monday, Israeli forces killed four Palestinians during a military raid in Jenin city.
Tensions have been running high across the West Bank amid a massive Israeli bombardment campaign on the blockaded Gaza Strip.
At least 122 Palestinians have been killed and 1,680 others detained by the Israeli army since Oct. 7, according to Palestinian figures.
