7 Killed in Latest Israeli Raids on West Bank
---------------------------------------------

Israeli military raids on the West Bank have killed at least seven
Palestinians, including a paramedic who died in a drone strike on the
Tulkarm refugee camp.

Elsewhere, several international activists were hospitalized in the West
Bank after they were assaulted by illegal Jewish settlers in the town of
Qusra. Israeli soldiers who witnessed the attack reportedly fired
warning shots but made no arrests. This comes just days after the
International Court of Justice ruled Israel's decadeslong occupation of
the West Bank and East Jerusalem is unlawful.

Meanwhile, representatives from rival Palestinian factions, including
Hamas and Fatah, have been meeting with Chinese mediators in Beijing,
where earlier today they announced an interim national unity government
responsible for the West Bank and Gaza.
