The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah has confirmed that as a result of the IOF's gunfire in the West Bank, the death toll has increased to five martyrs today, bringing the total number of martyrs in the West Bank to 90 martyrs since October 7th - the day the Palestinian Resistance launched Operation Al-Aqsa Flood - and that's just in the West Bank.
In its statement, the Ministry announced that up to five martyrs whose identities have not been identified yet were killed in Jenin.
“One of them arrived in pieces to the city hospital,” it said, adding that a martyr died in the city of Tubas due to a bullet in the head and another in the Askar camp in Nablus.

Jenin, home of the brave
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 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.
Exactly one month ago, Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin confirmed in an exclusive statement to Al Mayadeen, the failed Israeli occupation operation carried out on Tuesday evening in the Jenin refugee camp.
It said its resistance fighters managed to ambush occupation forces, causing casualties among Israeli ranks. The statement indicated that after every operation it carries out, the Israeli occupation claims that it has achieved imaginary achievements and victories on the ground.
"What were your achievements yesterday, arresting an old man, or destroying homes and targeting civilians randomly?" the Jenin Brigade asked, addressing Israeli leaders.
