RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) - The Israeli army on Thursday killed four Palestinians, including two teens, in the West Bank, bringing the death toll in the occupied territory since Oct. 7 to 134, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

In a statement, the ministry said a 24-year-old was succumbed to his injuries sustained this morning in the city of Al-Bireh.

Witnesses told Anadolu that Israeli special military forces raided the center of Al-Bireh, leading to clashes with dozens of Palestinians.

They said that the army used live ammunition and tear gas to disperse the Palestinians.

The ministry also announced the death of a 14-year-old and 19-year-old in Nablus and Qalqilya.

Another 14-year-old Palestinian was also killed by Israeli gunfire in the city center of Al-Bireh.

Tensions have been running high across the West Bank amid a massive Israeli bombardment campaign on the blockaded Gaza Strip.
