Five Palestinians were killed and four others injured in separate attacks by Israeli forces and occupiers in the occupied West Bank, according to the Health Ministry and Jerusalem Governorate on Friday.
Four Palestinians were killed and four others injured in an attack by Israeli forces and occupiers in the town of Tell, southwest of Nablus in the northern occupied West Bank, the ministry said.
“The death toll in Tell, southwest of Nablus, has risen to four, with four others injured, three of them critically,” the Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement.
Local and security sources said Israeli occupiers attacked Palestinian homes in the town and opened live fire toward two houses.
The Israeli army said it dispatched troops to an area near the illegal Havat Gilad settlement following what it called “an attack on Israelis hiking in the area” and imposed a siege on Nablus and the town of Tell.
