Israeli attacks in the West Bank have intensified, resulting in the killing of five Palestinians in an air strike on the Nur Shams refugee camp. The strike targeted leaders of armed resistance groups in the camp, with two teenagers among the victims. Palestinian groups declared a general strike in protest against the killings.
Meanwhile, violence by Israeli settlers has also increased, with one Palestinian man killed and six others injured in an attack on the village of Wadi Rahal. The man killed was identified as Khalil Salem Khalawi. Israeli settlers have carried out over 1,300 attacks in the West Bank since the beginning of the year, resulting in the deaths of at least seven Palestinians.
The escalation in violence has been attributed to the ongoing war in Gaza, with Israeli air attacks in the West Bank taking place in Tulkarem, Jenin, and Nablus. Palestinian groups have condemned the attacks and called for intensified resistance against Israel’s occupation.
The situation highlights the vulnerability of Palestinians living in the West Bank, facing violence from both Israeli forces and settlers. The attacks have been met with outrage and calls for justice, as Palestinians continue to endure the consequences of the conflict in the region.
