Qabatiya: The Israeli army killed one Palestinian late Wednesday in the occupied West Bank, amid a large-scale military campaign in the north. The Palestinian Health Ministry said in a statement that a 20-year-old man was killed by Israeli gunfire in the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin.

According to Anadolu Agency, witnesses reported that the young man was killed during clashes between the army forces and locals after Israeli troops raided the town. Several homes were stormed and searched by Israeli soldiers, they added.

The Israeli army conducted raids on several other towns including Jenin, Tulkarem, Ramallah, and Bethlehem on Wednesday, as reported by the official radio broadcaster Voice of Palestine. The military launched a large-scale offensive in the Tubas governorate in the northern West Bank earlier on Wednesday morning.

At least 60 Palestinians were detained, 10 injured, and dozens of families were forcibly displaced by army forces in the governorate, according to reports from the Palestinian Prisoners Society and the Red Cross.

The latest casualty has increased the number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli army and illegal settlers in the West Bank to 1,083 since the start of Tel Aviv's war in October 2023. Nearly 11,000 people have been injured and more than 20,500 arrested in the occupied territory.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's occupation of Palestinian territory illegal, calling for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
