On November 21, 2024, Israeli forces killed a Palestinian man named Jihad Qatouni during a raid in the Al-Ain refugee camp near Nablus.

This incident is part of a broader pattern of violence, as the Israeli army also arrested three Palestinians during the same raids in Nablus, further escalating tensions in the region.

In a separate operation in Qalqilya, another young Palestinian, identified as Mohammad Al-Fayyoumi, was injured, and reports indicate that the army obstructed an ambulance from reaching him.

Since the recent escalation of violence, the Health Ministry has reported that approximately 795 Palestinians have been killed and over 6,450 injured by Israeli forces in the occupied territories.

These events are occurring against a backdrop of heightened tensions in the West Bank, which have intensified following Israel's military actions in Gaza, resulting in nearly 44,000 deaths, predominantly among women and children, since Hamas's cross-border attack in October 2023.

The situation has drawn international attention, particularly after the International Court of Justice ruled in July 2024 that Israel's occupation of Palestinian territories is illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
