Seven Palestinians, including four children, were martyred during confrontations with Israeli occupation forces that stormed several cities and towns overnight in the occupied West Bank, the Palestinian Health Ministry announced.

Over 100 Palestinians were detained as well during the night raids, in what was described by the Israeli media as the "busiest night for the Israeli West Bank Division." 

In Ramallah Governorate and al-Bireh, the IOF killed Qais Shalash (17) and Khalil Mohammed Khalil (15) using live bullets.

Additionally, 17-year-old Ahmed Sadouq was martyred after being shot by Israeli occupation forces in the Dheisheh refugee camp.

Footage shared on social media depicted an Israeli military vehicle obstructing the path of a Palestinian ambulance in the Dheisheh camp that was urgently heading to assist injured Palestinians.

Mohammed Faweka (21) was killed by Israeli settlers in Dura al-Qari'a east of Ramallah, while Ibrahim al-Haj Ali (24) was martyred after succumbing to the wounds he had inflicted earlier by IOF gunfire in south Nablus. 

In Budrus, western Ramallah, Jibril Awad (31) was shot dead while another was injured after Israeli occupation forces opened live fire on youths confronting the raid on the town.

In the Nour Shams refugee camp, east of Tulkarm, a 16-year-old child, Taha Mhamid, was martyred by the occupation forces' gunfire.

The Israeli occupation declared the camp a closed military zone on Thursday dawn and brought in a D9 military bulldozer alongside the storming forces. The dozer destroyed road infrastructure and several cars.

The occupation kept piling on its crimes, as Mhamid was forced to bleed out for around an hour, while nearby emergency services were prevented from treating and transferring him to a nearby hospital.

Israeli occupation forces employed the same tactic in Beit Lahm, where four Palestinians, including a 14-year-old child, were injured in the Dheisheh refugee camp.

A general strike took place in the West Bank on Wednesday in condemnation of the crime committed by the Israeli occupation by bombing the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital on Tuesday night.

In Ramallah, thousands took part in a protest against the ongoing Israeli crimes in Gaza, demanding that the aggression end immediately. The protesters raised the Palestinian flag and banners and chanted slogans denouncing the occupation's plan aimed at the forced displacement of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.

Similarly, crowds in the Tulkarm governorate participated in an angry march condemning the massacre. Doctors, nurses, and other medical staffers also marched in support of Gaza, and hospitals announced that they stand by their colleagues suffering from the atrocities of the Israeli aggression.

The Gaza massacre continues

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that Israeli warplanes targeted a number of residential towers in al-Zahraa Towers area in the center of the Gaza Strip, adding that the Israeli bombing that targeted several buildings in the center of Khan Yunis resulted in a large number of martyrs and dozens of injuries. 

In the attack on a residential building in al-Majaida neighborhood in the center of Khan Yunis, south of the Gaza Strip, 13 Palestinians were martyred, 

Earlier, tens of Palestinians were killed in less than an hour on Thursday morning in Israeli strikes targeting civilian homes in the city of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, Al Mayadeen's correspondent said.

Activist Alam Sabbah mentioned that the Rafah area was hit with heavy Israeli airstrikes, noting that the bodies of more than 20 Palestinian martyrs were retrieved from a house targeted this morning.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent also pointed out that Israeli warplanes carried out several airstrikes on an area west of Khan Yunis Governorate.

In the northern part of the Gaza Strip, Israeli occupation warplanes targeted the Jabaliya camp. Palestinian media reported that, in under an hour, over 30 Palestinians were martyred in the airstrikes.

Health Ministry spokesperson Ashraf al-Qudra announced that the total number of Palestinians fallen in the ongoing Israeli aggression has reached 3,478 martyrs, in addition to 12,065 wounded.

On the al-Ahli Baptist Hospital massacre, al-Qudra said the martyr count has risen to 471, with 314 others wounded, 28 of whom are in critical condition.

In a related context, the government media office in Gaza confirmed there are more than a million displaced people in the Strip who are suffering disastrous living conditions due to the withdrawal of UNRWA and the suspension of its services in the northern areas of Gaza.
