Ankara: 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.
According to Anadolu Agency, 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 Palestinian Health Ministry stated, "The death toll in Tell, southwest of Nablus, has risen to four, with four others injured, three of them critically."
Local and security sources reported that Israeli occupiers attacked Palestinian homes in the town and opened live fire toward two houses. The Israeli army mentioned it dispatched troops to an area near the illegal Havat Gilad settlement following what it described as "an attack on Israelis hiking in the area" and imposed a siege on Nablus and the town of Tell. The army claimed that Palestinians had "seized a security officer's weapon and opened fire on Israelis near Havat Gilad." Israeli media reported that an Israeli occupier was killed and three others injured in the shooting.
Local sources informed Anadolu that a Palestinian was injured after Israeli occupiers stabbed him in the back in the Al-Mu'arrajat area northwest of Jericho following an attack while his vehicle had broken down. This incident marked the second consecutive day of security confrontations in the West Bank that resulted in deaths and injuries on both sides following occupier attacks.
The Israeli army announced that its forces were preparing to conduct "large-scale operational activity" in the occupied West Bank, adding that it had suspended leave and decided to reinforce troop deployments across the territory. This decision followed the shooting near the town of Tell, southwest of Nablus in the northern West Bank.
Separately, a Palestinian man who was shot by Israeli forces at the Shuafat refugee camp checkpoint northeast of occupied Jerusalem on Thursday evening succumbed to his wounds, the Jerusalem Governorate stated on Friday. The statement identified the man as Khalil Rashad Hamed al-Rashq, 47, from the Dahiat al-Salam neighborhood northeast of Jerusalem, and mentioned that Israeli forces were still withholding his body.
Local sources reported that Israeli occupiers attacked Far'ata, east of Qalqilya, with live fire and assaults, while the Palestinian Red Crescent transported seven injured Palestinians to a hospital, including three with serious gunshot wounds. The Palestinian Health Ministry noted that these killings have raised the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces and occupiers across the occupied West Bank since the beginning of 2026 to 86, with 65 killed by Israeli forces and 21 by occupiers.
