Israeli forces killed 14 Palestinians during a raid in the occupied West Bank, while death toll from Israel’s war on Gaza climbed to more than 34,000
Reuters has some further detail on the recent violence in the West Bank, where Israeli forces killed 14 Palestinians during a raid on Saturday, according to Palestinian authorities. An ambulance driver was also reportedly killed as he went to collect injured people from a separate attack by Jewish settlers.
The Israeli military said a number of militants were killed or arrested during the raid, and at least four soldiers were wounded in exchanges of fire. Netanyahu wrote on X that it “demonstrates strong bipartisan support for Israel and defends western civilization”. The Tulkarm Brigades, which groups forces from numerous Palestinian factions, said its fighters exchanged fire with Israeli forces on Saturday.
In a separate incident, the Palestinian health ministry said a 50-year-old ambulance driver was killed by Israeli gunfire near the village of Al-Sawiya, south of the city of Nablus, as he was making his way to transport people injured during the attack on the village. It was not immediately clear whether he was shot by settlers. There was no immediate comment from the military.
