JERUSALEM (AA) – A Palestinian was killed and nine others were injured when the Israeli army raided the Nablus city in the occupied West Bank, Palestine's official media said on Friday.

According to the Wafa news agency, Leys Mohammad Bakir Nasasra, 21, was killed by the Israeli army gunfire when the clashes broke out between the Israeli forces and Palestinian resisting the raid on the town of Beit Furik.

The recent killing has raised the death toll from the attacks by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank since ongoing Israel-Palestine fighting started last month to 182, the report added.

Tensions have been high across the West Bank since the fighting broke out on Oct. 7 between Palestinian groups and Israel in the Gaza Strip.
