On Wednesday evening, two settlers were seriously injured in a shooting attack near the city of Salfit in the northern West Bank, according to an Israeli military statement.
This incident comes amid ongoing Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank, which have resulted in the deaths and injuries of tens of thousands of Palestinians since October 7, 2023, according to Palestinian data.
Statistics indicate that approximately 173,000 people have been killed or wounded in Gaza, in addition to more than 11,000 missing persons.

In the West Bank, Israeli military operations and settlement attacks have escalated, resulting in the deaths of more than 962 Palestinians, the injury of nearly 7,000, and the arrest of more than 17,000, according to Palestinian sources.
