At least 1,013 Palestinians killed in West Bank by Israeli forces, illegal settlers since Oct. 7, 2023

RAMALLAH, Palestine/ISTANBUL
The Israeli army on Monday shot and killed a Palestinian man and injured another in the town of Qabatiya in the northern West Bank, and seized his body, the Health Ministry said.
In a statement, the ministry said the General Authority for Civil Affairs (liaison body with the Israeli side) informed that a Palestinian was killed by Israeli gunfire in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin.
It identified the victim as Yousef al-Amer, 33, noting that the Israeli army withheld his body.
Israeli forces surrounded an agricultural warehouse between the towns of Mirka and Qabatiya and targeted it with shoulder-fired rockets, killing the Palestinian man and destroying the warehouse, witnesses told Anadolu.
Israeli military vehicles bulldozed the site and retrieved the body before withdrawing, they added.
The ministry said a 21-year-old was also wounded by Israeli gunfire and arrested in the same town.
Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on the Gaza Strip in October 2023, at least 1,013 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and illegal settlers, according to the ministry.
In an advisory opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
