Israeli Forces Attack West Bank, Killing 4 Palestinians In Clashes

Israeli forces killed four Palestinians during a strike in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday.

The Palestinian health ministry stated, “Four Palestinians were martyred by occupation bullets in the town of Azzun”.

According to the report, Israeli occupation soldiers fired live ammunition, stun grenades, and tear gas at residents during the attack.

Israeli soldiers searched houses and businesses and confiscated CCTV footage from several shops.

The army stated that troops had returned fire after fighters shot at them and tossed explosives.

In a statement, the army noted, “At the end of an exchange of fire, they killed four terrorists and confiscated three Carlo-type weapons (locally produced submachine guns) that were used by them”.

“A soldier was moderately wounded”, the statement reads.

In a separate exchange of fire, forces neutralized a Palestinian combatant who fired at them in the town of Qalqilya, the army stated without elaborating.

Israeli army says seven people were arrested in the West Bank overnight, bringing the total number of arrests in the territory to almost 2,550 since the Israel-Hamas war began.

The West Bank has been under Israeli military occupation since 1967 the Six-Day War, and tensions have risen since Israel and Hamas began fighting.

According to the Palestinian health ministry, at least 321 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli troops or settlers since October 7. Last year, around 520 Palestinians were killed in the region.
