Concurrently, two Palestinian youths were shot with live ammunition during confrontations with Israeli forces in the town of Beita, south of Nablus.

Local and medical sources informed Wafa that Israeli occupation forces raided the town, leading to confrontations with youth resulting in the injury of two young men. They were subsequently transferred to the hospital for treatment.

Meanwhile, field sources in the West Bank reported that the occupation forces destroyed and damaged many homes in Askar camp and Balata camps east of Nablus.

Massacre also unfolding in West Bank

At the beginning of this month, the 150 residents of Khirbet Zanuta were forcibly displaced once again. At the time, armed settlers, some of whom were dressed in reserve army uniforms and others concealing their identities, started to break into their homes during the night, assaulting adults, vandalizing and looting their possessions, and traumatizing their children.

With the martyrdom of Sharif Al-Shaer, the number of Palestinians killed by "Israel" in the West Bank has risen to 456 since the beginning of the current year, including 248 since October 7.

As of October 7, the Palestinian Prisoners Club reported that the overall count of Palestinians held in Israeli detention has reached 3,325.

Meanwhile, in Gaza, "Israel" has killed at least 16,000, including more than 6,150 children and over 4,000 women, as per Gaza's Government Media Office.
