A Palestinian child and an elderly man were killed by Israeli gunfire, raising the number of slain Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7 to 124.

A Palestinian child succumbed to the wounds he sustained on Monday by Israeli gunfire, during an Israeli military raid in the village of Zawata, west of Nablus, the official Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.

Medical sources announced on Tuesday that Mohammad Abdul Qadir al-Kharaz, 14, died as a result of being shot by live bullets in the pelvic area.

Meanwhile, in the West Bank city of Tubas, an elderly Palestinian was killed during a raid by Israeli occupation forces.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement that 70-year-old Rawhi Rashid Sawafta was killed after being hit in the face by Israeli occupation bullets.

With the killing of al-Kharaz and Sawafta, the number of slain Palestinians in the West Bank since October 7 has risen to 124.
