Israeli troops demolished on Monday, March 4 the house of a Palestinian accused of killing an Israeli settler last year, following a military raid into Al-Makhfiya, Nablus.
Violence in the West Bank flared even before the war in the Gaza Strip between Hamas militants and Israel erupted on October 7.
Since the war broke out, at least 420 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli troops and settlers, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry based in Ramallah.
Israel has been occupying the West Bank – including east Jerusalem, which it later unilaterally annexed – since the Arab-Israeli war of 1967.
Israeli settlements, which are illegal under international law, have ballooned over the decades and are seen as a key barrier to peace with the Palestinians.
