RAMALLAH, Palestine (AA) – A Palestinian man died of his injuries sustained in an Israeli forces drone attack in Tulkarem, in the northern occupied West Bank, last week, bringing the total number of deaths in the West Bank to two on Friday.

The Palestinian official news agency Wafa identified the deceased Palestinian as Amer Khairallah, 27, who was injured in an Israeli drone airstrike on the Tulkarem refugee camp on Nov. 17.

Early on Friday, a Palestinian was killed by the Israeli army during a raid on the Aqbat Jabr refugee camp in the southeastern West Bank.

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

According to the Palestinian Health Ministry, 231 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces in the West Bank since Oct. 7, with over 2,900 others injured.
