Additionally, 14 Palestinians were wounded in Gaza.
The health ministry said the four Palestinian victims in the strip included three brothers hit by a drone strike in central Gaza on Monday and a 58-year-old woman killed by a drone strike Tuesday in the southern city of Rafah. Over 32 bodies of martyrs were also retrieved from under the rubble.
The latest murders brought the overall number of Palestinian martyrs during Israel’s genocidal war on the strip to 48,503, with more than 110,000 wounded, according to the health ministry.
On 21 January, days after the Gaza ceasefire agreement - brokered by Egypt, Qatar, and the US - went into effect, Israel launched Operation Iron Wall, its largest military operation in decades on the occupied West Bank.
The operation has thus far focused on Jenin and Tulkarm, the northern West Bank’s hotbeds for armed resistance groups.
The occupation forces killed over 45 Palestinian civilians in Jenin and displaced 90% of the Jenin Refugee Camp’s population since the beginning of the operation, according to the camp’s media committee. Tens have also been killed in Tulkarm, with hundreds of thousands displaced from the West Bank.
