The Palestinian Health Ministry on Tuesday said 487 Palestinians have been killed by the Israeli forces and illegal settlers across the occupied West Bank in the past 200 days.
Around 4,900 others were also injured across the West Bank and Jerusalem since Oct. 7, the ministry said in a statement.
Those killed include 122 children, 4 women, 5 elderly people and 10 detainees who died in Israeli jails, the statement added.
Tensions have been high across the West Bank since Israel launched a deadly military offensive against the Gaza Strip after a cross-border attack by Hamas on Oct. 7, 2023.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza.
