Occupied Palestine (QNN)- Ten Palestinians have been killed by Israeli occupation forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem in August so far, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. At least 210 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces and settlers in the occupied West Bank, Jerusalem, and Gaza Strip since the start of 2023. The Health Ministry has identified the ten Palestinian martyrs as:

Zaarir, 15, was fatally shot by Israeli forces near the illegal Israeli settlement of Shim’a close to Hebron. He was one of the top students in his class and had just finished the 9th grade.

Mazar'a, 20, was killed by Israeli forces over allegedly carrying out a shooting operation in the illegal settlement of Maale Adumim. The operation came amid a spike in Israeli attacks against Palestinians.

Abu Saan, 18, was shot by Israeli forces in the head at point blank range and was later pronounced dead at the hospital during a military raid at the Nour Shams refugee camp.

Mu’tan, 19, was fatally shot in the neck in cold blood by Israeli settlers who attacked the village of Burqa, southeast of Ramallah.

Israeli forces killed the three Palestinians after firing dozens of bullets at a vehicle they were in near Arraba town, southwest of Jenin, before withholding their bodies and the vehicle.

Hamed, 17, was shot on August 4 by an Israeli settler while sitting in a car near the Ofra illegal settlement in Silwad. Hamed was hit with two bullets, in the chest and stomach and died from his wounds in a hospital.
