A young Palestinian man was killed by Israeli army gunfire - at dawn on Monday - after Israeli forces stormed the Arroub camp, north of the city of Hebron, as part of numerous raids into towns and cities in the West Bank.

The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said, in a brief statement, that the Israeli army handed over to its crews in Hebron a martyr who had fallen in the Al-Arroub camp.

Eyewitnesses reported that an Israeli force chased a Palestinian vehicle near the Arroub camp and opened fire on it, wounding one of its passengers, while Israeli forces arrested another Palestinian who was on board.

Eyewitnesses said that the army detained the injured Palestinian for several hours before handing him over to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society, only to announce his death later.

Storms and arrests

The occupation forces stormed several cities and towns in the West Bank - at dawn on Monday - most notably the city of Ramallah, Tulkarm, Jericho, the Al-Far'a camp near Tubas, and the towns of Bidya, Masha and Qarawa in Salfit Governorate, according to local Palestinian sources.

The Israeli army launched an arrest campaign that injured many Palestinians, including a university student from the city of Ramallah.

In Al-Faraa camp, confrontations broke out between the occupation forces and dozens of Palestinians, during which Israeli forces used live bullets against civilians, resulting in the injury of a Palestinian, according to the Red Crescent Society.

The Palestinian News Agency reported that the Israeli occupation forces also stormed the city of Jericho and the Aqabat Jabr camp, southwest of the city yesterday.

It quoted local sources as saying that the occupation forces stormed Jericho, raided the Katf al-Wad neighborhood, and surrounded one of the residential buildings in the neighborhood, with reports of storming a residential apartment inside it.

Local Palestinian sources also reported that the occupation forces also stormed the Aqabat Jabr camp, and confrontations broke out in the camp, with the Israeli occupation forces firing bullets randomly.

The West Bank has witnessed a wave of tension and confrontations between the Palestinians and the Israeli occupation army forces since last October 7, the intensity of which increased during the Israeli incursion into the cities and towns of the West Bank.

The number of killed in the West Bank has risen to more than 200, in addition to about 2,800 wounded since October 7, with escalating tensions and confrontations coinciding with the ongoing Israeli bombing of the Gaza Strip.

The intense Israeli war on Gaza resulted in the death of more than 13,000 Palestinians - most of them women and children - as well as the injury of more than 30,000 others.
