In the West Bank, the Israeli army murders three Palestinians.

Israeli occupation forces fatally shot three Palestinians near the Israeli military checkpoint of Sarra, to the southwest of Nablus, on Sunday, bringing to 84 the number of Palestinians killed by Israel since the start of the year. Witnesses said that shortly after their shooting, Israeli soldiers stormed shops and sized the recordings of surveillance cameras. The fresh violence follows an Israeli military raid last week on the West Bank village of Jaba, where three Palestinian were killed. The current round of violence is one of the worst in the West Bank in years, with nearly 150 Palestinians killed in 2022, making it the deadliest year in those areas since 2004. Palestinians view the raids as a tightening of Israel's 55-year, open-ended occupation of their land. Israel captured the West Bank, the Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem in the 1967 Mideast war.
