West Bank Death Toll Surpasses 1,100 Since October

Israeli forces and settlers have killed more than 1,100 Palestinians in the occupied West Bank since October 2023. The latest violence saw two Palestinians shot dead by Israeli troops. The total figure of at least 1,102 deaths comes from local sources. It includes people killed during military raids, clashes, and settler attacks. This surge in fatalities is part of a major escalation in the territory. The West Bank is land occupied by Israel since the 1967 war. Palestinians seek it for a future independent state, alongside Gaza. Israel states its operations target militant networks. The rising death toll marks one of the West Bank's most violent periods in recent decades.
