RAMALLAH - A Palestinian man was killed on Sunday during an Israeli army forces' raid in Nablus, north of the West Bank, according to the Ramallah-based Palestinian Health Ministry.

A statement by the ministry to Xinhua said the ministry had informed the Palestinian General Authority for Civil Affairs of the death of the 34-year-old man from Burqa village in Nablus due to injuries sustained from Israeli gunfire.

The Israeli forces raided Burqa and conducted search and seizure operations, in which they also arrested several citizens and set fire to a vehicle, according to local sources.

During the day, the Israeli troops also conducted extensive arrest campaigns in other parts of the occupied West Bank, detaining over 30 individuals.

Since the start of the latest round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict on Oct 7, the number of Palestinians killed by Israeli gunfire has risen to 186 across the West Bank, while the total number of Palestinian detainees has exceeded 2,450. - XINHUA
