The total number of Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank since Oct 7 has risen to 91, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

In a statement shared by Anadolu Agency, the ministry said that the General Authority for Civil Affairs, the Palestinian Authority’s contact point with the Israeli side, informed it of the death of a citizen — the sixth — whose identity is yet to be confirmed.

The deaths came after “Israeli forces’ gunfire near Al-Arroub camp,” the ministry stated, adding that Israeli army “fired at the Palestinian at the entrance of the Al-Arroub refugee camp, north of Hebron”.
