The Palestinian Health Ministry in the West Bank says 91 Palestinians have been killed there since Oct. 7. Israel says its forces have detained over 700 suspects in the West Bank, including 480 members of Hamas, since the start of hostilities. The intensified violence follows more than a year of escalating raids and arrests in the West Bank and deadly Palestinian attacks on Israelis. Israel captured the West Bank, along with Gaza and east Jerusalem, in the 1967 war. The West Bank Protection Consortium, a coalition of non-governmental organizations and donor countries, including the European Union, says at least 470 Palestinians have been forcibly displaced in the West Bank due to settler violence since Oct. 7.
