A Palestinian woman was killed and five others injured in an Israeli military incursion into the village of Anza, south of Jenin in the occupied West Bank.
According to a statement from the Palestine Red Crescent Society, its teams transported the body of a woman and four injured people, including three women, to a hospital after Wednesday’s attack.
Among the injured were a 73-year-old woman who was shot in the head, a 9-year-old girl and a young man who suffered jaw injuries, he said.
The Palestinian Health Ministry confirmed the death of Zohour Qassem Amour, 32, following Israeli gunfire in Anza.
More than 600 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank since October 7 – the deadliest year since the United Nations began keeping track of casualties in 2005.
In August, Israel launched the largest raids in the West Bank in more than two decades, targeting Jenin, Tulkarm and Tubas, with hundreds of ground troops advancing in bulldozers and armored vehicles, supported by fighter jets and bomb-dropping drones.
At least 30 homes were raided in Dura, Hebron, on Thursday morning, while six Palestinians were arrested in an ongoing raid in Idhna.
Israeli forces raided Safa, west of Ramallah, and carried out mass arrests while blowing up a house.
Israeli forces arrested a young man in Jenin after searching his vehicle, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported. A 15-year-old boy was injured after being hit by an Israeli military vehicle during a separate raid on Nablus’ at-Taawon Street. Five other people were arrested in Jenin’s al-Jabriyat neighborhood, according to Wafa.
Israeli forces also raided several villages and towns in the northern West Bank, including Jamma’in, south of Nablus, and arrested three Palestinians.
