This year, at least 483 Palestinians have been killed and more than 12,769 wounded by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank. Since October 7, as jets bombarded Gaza, the Israeli military ramped up its raids in the West Bank, Al Jazeera reports.

As of December 10, at least 106 Palestinian children have been killed by Israeli soldiers or settlers this year, reaching three times the number recorded in 2022.

This year alone accounts for a quarter of all Palestinian deaths over the past 20 years.
