An injured soldier in serious condition, according to military statement

JERUSALEM
An Israeli soldier was killed and four others were injured in an “operational activity” in the northern West Bank, the army said on Monday.
A military statement said that one of the injured soldiers was in serious condition.
The army said the casualties occurred during an “operational activity” in the Menashe Brigade zone, without specifying the nature of the activity.
The Menashe Brigade zone refers to the Jenin and Tulkarem area in the northern West Bank.
Israel’s Army Radio, however, said the soldiers were killed and injured in a roadside bomb explosion in the Palestinian town of Tammun.
Tension has been running high across the occupied West Bank due to Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, where at least 47,000 people have been killed, mostly women and children, and over 110,700 others injured since Oct. 7, 2023.
Around 860 Palestinians have since been killed and over 6,700 injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.
A ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement took effect in Gaza on Sunday, suspending the Israeli war on the Palestinian enclave.
In July 2024, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's decades-long occupation of Palestinian land illegal and demanded the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
