At least 10 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops in the occupied West Bank



At least 10 Palestinians are killed by Israeli troops within the occupied geographic area where forces are using live fire against protesters, leaving many Palestinians wounded. 

 According to a press release by the Palestine Red Crescent Society on Friday, its medical teams restrained 10 fatalities and 500 wounded in numerous parts of the occupied geographical area. 

Israeli violence

 Israeli violence on Fridays within the area could be a traditional facet of the long running oppression, but the fresh attacks comes as Israel is engaged in major aggression with Palestinians in blockaded Gaza where a minimum of 122 Palestinians, including 31 children and 20 women, are killed, and 900 others wounded within the ongoing Israeli aggression. 

 "Two citizens who arrived in serious condition at Salfit hospital after being wounded by Israeli army's live fire to the chest and stomach ... are dead," Palestine's Health Ministry said on Friday, after announcing two other deaths earlier within the day. Salfit could be a Palestinian city within the occupied geographic region adjacent to an Israeli settlement. 

 Later seven deaths were reported. 

 Then the Palestinian Health Ministry reported the death of an eighth man, shot within the head in al Rihiya. He was taken to Yatta Governmental Hospital. 

 Later within the evening, health officials said a ninth Palestinian was killed in Salem and a tenth died after being shot by live bullets within the head in Asira al Qibliya, near the town of Nablus. 

 Those deaths come hours after after the Israeli army reported that one person was killed after attempting to stab an Israeli soldier. That came after six other Palestinians were killed by Israeli army fire within the occupied geographical region earlier within the day. 

 Controversial shootings 

 Rights groups have condemned past shootings of Palestinians by the Israeli military under questionable circumstances. 

 The Palestinian Red Crescent said Friday's geographical area clashes, affecting multiple locations, had left many people wounded, including from tear gas and rubber bullets. 

 A Palestinian security source said that Friday's unrest was "the most intense since the second intifida," the uprising that began in 2000. 

 Israeli forces tear gassed Palestinian demonstrators near Hawara checkpoint near Nablus within the Israeli-occupied geographic region. 

 Heavily armed Israeli police were in Hebron where Palestinians protested over tension in Jerusalem and Gaza violence. a few of protesters in Hebron were carrying mere slingshots as a defence against the well-armed troops. 

 Tensions flared in occupied Jerusalem during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan. 

 The Israeli police deployed heavy-handed tactics against Palestinian worshippers in and around Al Aqsa Mosque within the last week of the holy month. 

 Another flashpoint in recent days has been a court case that might end with Palestinian families evicted from occupied East Jerusalem homes in Sheikh Jarrah claimed by Jewish settlers. 

 If the court rules for the settlers, Palestinians living within the neighbourhood would be displaced for a second time, the primary once they were moved into Sheikh Jarrah as refugees by Jordan within the 1950s. 

 Palestinians protesting in solidarity with the residents of Sheikh Jarrah are targeted by Israeli forces. 

 Israel occupied East Jerusalem during the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and annexed the whole city in 1980 – a move that has never been recognised by the international community. 

 Jordanians rally for Palestinians

 Meanwhile, Jordanian riot police forcibly dispersed many pro-Palestinian protesters trying to achieve a bridge that ends up in the Israeli-occupied geographical area. 

 Witnesses said police fired tear gas and shot into the air to halt about 500 young demonstrators, who broke faraway from the scheduled route of a march near the borders organised to protest Israeli attacks on Palestinians. 

 The demonstrators were within five kilometres of the king Bridge, known in Israel because the Allenby Bridge, within the Jordan Valley opposite the Palestinian city of Jericho within the Israeli-occupied geographic area. 

 Witnesses said about 2,000 people took part within the protest, arranged by a mixture of opposition parties and tribal groups during a kingdom where passions are running high since the escalation of violence between Palestinians and Israel.
