702 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) and settlers in the West Bank since October 7, the Palestinian Health Ministry revealed Wednesday.
The ministry's statement highlighted that over 5,700 Palestinians have been wounded by the ongoing Israeli aggression in the occupied land, with 10,500 others detained over the last 11 months.
The death toll included at least eight Palestinians killed during Israeli airstrikes carried out on Wednesday in the city of Tabus, the nearby town of Tamun, and the West Bank's northern city of Tulkarm.
Israeli drones strike car in Tulkarm, West Bank
Three Palestinians were killed after the Israeli occupation forces targeted their vehicle near Tulkarm, in the northwestern West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that one martyr was completely charred, while body parts and remains scattered all over the site of the fire.
Of the three martyrs was al-Quds Brigades - Nur Shams Commander Imad al-Din Khodr Shehadeh, according to Palestinian sources.
This came as the IOF surrounded and sieged the al-Israa and al-Zakat Hospitals in Tulkarm. Occupation forces also launched smoke bombs on the entrance of the Nur Shams camp, while pushing into the Tulkarm camp with military reinforcement.
Meanwhile, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported that Israeli settlers were ordered to stay home and keep their windows and doors locked following the discovery of a breach in the Avnei Hefetz settlement fence. The IOF launched combing operations after being called to the site.
In Jenin, one Palestinian was martyred after succumbing to his injuries, sustained during last week's IOF raid of the city, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.
Israeli drones also hovered over Jenin and its camp, according to our correspondent.
