Israel has now killed 32 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since last Wednesday: 19 in Jenin, 6 in Tulkarem, 4 in Tubas, and 3 in Hebron, bringing the number of slain Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7, 2023, to 685.
In the Gaza Strip, the Israeli army continued its aggression, by land, sea and air, on the coastal enclave, since October 7, 2023, which has resulted in the killing of at least 40,786 Palestinians, the majority of whom are women and children, and the injury of 94,224 others, in an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
Among the slain Palestinians are at least 16,589 children, 11,207 women, 182 journalists and 23 emergency responders, 885 medical staff, 82 Civil Defense staff, and 203 UNRWA staff.
Most experts estimate the death toll is much higher – and could be as high as 200,000, when counting both direct and indirect deaths related to the Israeli war on Gaza that began October 7, 2023.
