Palestinian Health Ministry:

Palestinian death toll in Israeli raids on West Bank rises to 759

20 Oct 2024 - 11:16

The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced today that the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and colonists in the West Bank, including Jerusalem, has risen to 759 since the outbreak of Israeli aggression on October 7, 2023.


In a brief statement on Sunday, the Ministry noted that among the victims are 165 children and 18 women, alongside over 6,500 recorded injuries during the same period.
 
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces continue their relentless assault on Gaza, resulting in an alarming toll of 42,519 fatalities and 99,637 injured, the majority of whom are women and children.
 
Rescue teams are facing immense challenges in reaching thousands of victims still trapped under rubble or stranded in the streets.
 
In a landmark opinion on July 19, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's decades-long occupation of Palestinian land "illegal" and demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and occupied East Jerusalem.
