Concurrently, Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of al-Khalil and the town of Beit Ummar in the West Bank.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent confirmed that Israeli settlers attacked residents of the town of Huwara, south of Nablus, and opened fire on Palestinian homes.

Additionally, the Ministry of Health announced on Saturday evening the death of 19-year-old Palestinian youth Qassam Farouk Mohammad Haj Ahmad, who succumbed to critical injuries sustained from Israeli gunfire to the head about a week ago in Tulkarm.

In 2020, 24 Palestinians were killed by settlers or the IOF. It increased by four-fold in 2021 reaching 84. In 2022, the number of Palestinians killed was 154, increasing to 277 in 2023 as of October 20.

Up until September 19, prior to Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, 189 Palestinians were reported to be killed. This number saw a sharp spike since October 7, with 88 Palestinians killed over the span of two weeks.

That is roughly seven Palestinians killed each day in the West Bank aside from large-scale massacres being committed against their brethren in Gaza. The UN has also recorded 102 attacks of settler violence targeting Palestinians and their property in the West Bank in the past two weeks.
