IOF kill nine Palestinians protesting aggression on Gaza in West Bank
The Israeli occupation forces have so far killed 44 Palestinians in the West Bank since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood last Saturday.
Nine Palestinians were martyred during confrontations with Israeli occupation forces across the West Bank as large numbers of people took to the streets in support of Gaza and protested the Israeli aggression on the Strip. This raises the number of Palestinians killed in the West Bank to 44 martyrs since last Saturday.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, out of a total of 1,800 Palestinian martyrs in Gaza so far, 583 are children and 351 are women.
Demonstrators were raising slogans supporting the Resistance in Gaza, calling for the escalation of popular action and confrontations with the Israeli army at all points of contact to support the blockaded Strip.
