Israeli forces have killed nine Palestinians, including two children, and injured at least another 130 people in the occupied West Bank between March 25 and April 7, Al Jazeera reports, citing the latest UN situation report on the occupied territory.

According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), a 10th victim of the Israeli military was shot and killed on April 8 — a Palestinian woman who Israeli soldiers alleged had thrown stones.

The UN report also reveals that 34 children were among the 130 injured by the Israeli military during the reporting period up to April 7.

On top of the military violence, Israeli settlers carried out 44 attacks on Palestinians that resulted in the injury of 25, including five children, and property damage across 35 communities.

Israeli authorities also demolished 105 Palestinian-owned structures across the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem during the same period, leaving 122 Palestinians displaced, including 64 children.
