Israeli Troops and Settlers Attack Palestinians in Occupied West Bank, Push Death Toll to 69
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the occupied West Bank, health officials say at least seven
Palestinians were killed by Israeli forces and armed settlers over the
past day amid mounting military raids and arrests. Sixty-nine
Palestinians have been killed in similar attacks since October 7. Major
protests across the West Bank have also taken aim at the ruling
Palestinian Authority, which has launched a violent crackdown on
demonstrations. A 12-year-old Palestinian girl named Razan Nasrallah was
shot and killed by PA security forces Tuesday during protests in Jenin
following the deadly bombing of Gaza's Al-Ahli Hospital.
