Israeli occupation forces have escalated their violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank in recent years, especially since the beginning of the genocidal war on Gaza last October. Towns and cities in the West Bank endure daily raids, alongside extensive detention campaigns, resulting in an increase in the number of martyrs and injuries as a result of confrontations with the occupation forces.
