This incident adds to the grim toll of Palestinian lives lost during the recent wave of violence in the occupied territories. The Health Ministry in Ramallah revealed that over 400 Palestinians have been martyred by Israeli occupation forces and settlers since the conflict escalated in Gaza in October.

Just last week, Israeli occupation forces killed Aref Qadoumi during a raid in Jenin, further exacerbating tensions in the region. Reports indicate that towns and cities across the West Bank are facing frequent incursions, leading to more casualties, detentions, and destruction of property.
The detainees are reportedly subjected to harsh treatment, including beatings and interrogations, while their families are also being threatened.
