Doctors Without Borders (MSF) a French humanitarian healthcare organization said on Sunday that the majority of the young Palestinians it received at Jenin Hospital in the West Bank had life-threatening bullet wounds in their abdomens and lower thighs.
“Most of the patients we receive have been shot in the abdomen and legs” Dr. Pedro Serrano head of the hospital’s intensive care unit that is supported by MSF said in a statement posted on the social media platform X.
“Some have had their liver and spleen shattered while others have severe vascular injuries” Dr. Serrano added.
“We had one very sad case of a guy who was walking just outside the hospital entrance when he was shot in the head by a sniper” he added noting that “the violence is ongoing and most patients we receive have life-threatening injuries.”
Since the start of the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip on Oct.7 Israeli occupation forces (IOF) have intensified their daily raid and arrest campaigns which usually result in a number of casualties.
On Sunday three Palestinians were killed by IOF gunshots in Jenin and Nablus while 40 others were injured.
Along the same lines the IOF admitted the arrest of 950 Hamas members in the West Bank since Oct. 7.
A military statement said 15 Palestinians were rounded up in the West Bank in the past few hours including six Hamas members.
According to the statement a total of 1570 Palestinians have been detained in the occupied territory since Oct. 7 including 950 Hamas members.
At least 186 Palestinians have been killed and 2470 others arrested in the occupied West Bank since the outbreak of the Gaza aggression according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.
Prior to the Gaza conflict the number of Palestinian detainees in Israeli jails was estimated at around 5200 according to Palestinian figures.
