A Palestinian farmer, identified as Bilal Mohammad Saleh, aged 40, was fatally shot earlier today by zionist settlers in the village of Sawiya in the northern region of the occupied West Bank.

Medical sources confirmed that Saleh lost his life due to gunfire by israeli settlers in the town of al-Sawiyeh, situated south of Nablus in the West Bank.

According to sources, Saleh was in the midst of harvesting his olive crops when he was attacked by settlers, resulting in the fatal shooting.

The Ministry of Health reported that Saleh sustained critical injuries, specifically a gunshot wound to the chest, and tragically succumbed to his injuries.

This tragic event contributes to the escalating toll on Palestinians amid the recent aggression, with a reported death toll of 111 Palestinians since the commencement of hostilities in Gaza on October 7.

This figure includes two individuals whose deaths occurred under unclear circumstances while in prison, in addition to 1,950 others who have sustained injuries.

The incident further exacerbates tensions and highlights the ongoing conflict in the region, underscoring the urgent need for de-escalation and measures to ensure the safety and security of Palestinian civilians in the area. (ILKHA)
