For weeks, the Israeli army has been carrying out massive incursions into the West Bank, in light of a tense situation and field confrontations between Palestinians and the Israeli army, coinciding with the continuation of Israeli raids on Gaza strip.
During this period, more than 200 West Bank residents were killed by occupation bullets, in addition to about 2,800 being injured.
The escalation in the West Bank coincides with the ongoing devastating Israeli war on Gaza, which has so far led to the death of more than 14,000 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children, as well as the injury of more than 33,000 others.
