In the first 11 days of January, the Israeli occupation forces have assassinated five Palestinians, two of whom were minors.

The spiral of violence has prevailed in the West Bank since Israel launched the "Breaking the Wave" operation in March 2022. This operation consists of daily raids, almost always at night and especially in the Jenin and Nablus area where Palestinian militias have a presence. .

Usually, the aggressions of the Israeli army generate armed confrontations that culminate in the deaths of civilians and arrests of Palestinians who are accustomed to accusing them of "terrorism suspicions."

In this context, 2022 was the deadliest year in the area since 2006. There, 170 Palestinians were killed and 2,672 people arrested, according to official figures.
