Israeli forces have killed and seriously wounded numerous Palestinian civilians across Gaza and the occupied West Bank in recent weeks, with incidents including the shooting of an 18-year-old woman inside her home days before her wedding and a 13-year-old boy struck in the head while playing football. In Gaza, at least 777 Palestinians have been killed since an October ceasefire took effect, with recent attacks targeting civilians collecting water, UN-contracted aid workers, and residents in refugee camps; the cumulative death toll since October 2023 now stands at over 72,000. In the West Bank, coordinated settler raids on villages near Ramallah — accompanied in some cases by Israeli military escorts — along with military incursions that killed a 17-year-old in Beit Duqqu and a 25-year-old near Hebron, have prompted UN experts to describe Israeli policy as 'ethnically cleansing the West Bank,' with more than 2,500 Palestinians displaced by demolitions and settler attacks so far this year.
