According to data from Palestinian health authorities and according to data from the United Nations, since October 7, the number of Palestinian martyrs in the occupied West Bank has exceeded those in any similar period in the past 15 years.

Up to 95 Palestinians in the Occupied West Bank have been killed, most of them resulting from confrontations with the IOF, while others were killed due to settler attacks.

According to Palestinian health officials, settlers wearing masks shot and murdered three Palestinians in the village of Qusra on October 11. The very next day, during the funeral procession, a Palestinian father and his son were killed.

UN data shows that after the IOF raided the Nour Shams refugee camp on Thursday, 13 Palestinians, including five children, were killed. The Israeli military announced earlier that the Nour Shams Camp is a closed military zone and has since then worked non-stop to destroy civilian infrastructure, including roads.

Ravina Shamdasani, a spokesperson for the UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, expressed: “We are extremely alarmed by the rapidly deteriorating human rights situation in the occupied West Bank and the increase in unlawful use of lethal force.”

Bloodiest since 2005

This comes after the director of Jenin Hospital announced on Sunday that two martyrs and three injuries were administered to the hospital after Israeli occupation forces shelled the al-Ansar Mosque in the Jenin refugee camp in the occupied West Bank.

The day after, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that two Palestinians were killed and five others were seriously injured during the IOF aggression on the Jalazone camp in northern Ramallah. 

The Times of Israel noted that "bloody violence" had erupted in the West Bank, and this past week has been the bloodiest for Palestinians in the West Bank since 2005 at least, UN observers have said.

Since Operation Al-Aqsa Flood started, in which more than 1,500 Israelis were killed and some 155 captured, the Israeli occupation has imposed stifling measures on the West Bank, closing all crossings leading to Palestinian territories and checkpoints between cities. These measures were taken to "prevent attacks," Israeli media claimed.

The West Bank rallies supporting Gaza and the Resistance are simultaneously taking place with the demonstrations of hundreds of thousands in Iran, Lebanon, Jordan, Iraq, Yemen, Pakistan, Oman, Algeria, and several other Arab and Islamic countries.
