RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) - A Palestinian succumbed to his wounds sustained during a raid by Israeli forces on a village in the northern occupied West Bank.

In a statement, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced the death of a Palestinian in the village of Abwein, northwest of Ramallah city, after he was taken to a hospital.

The Palestinian official news agency Wafa said the Palestinian was directly shot by the Israeli forces during clashes with Palestinians in the village.

Over the past few years, the Israeli military has conducted regular raids in the West Bank, which have escalated with the beginning of the war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023. Palestinians have also been violently attacked by illegal Israeli settlers.

At least 574 Palestinians, including at least 133 children, have since been killed and nearly 5,350 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.

Israel stands accused of “genocide” at the International Court of Justice, which, in its latest ruling, has ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its military operation in Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6.
