The Palestinian health ministry has reported that six people have been killed in a series of attacks in the West Bank, according to the BBC.
The attacks occurred in the cities of Nablus and Jenin, with the Palestinian health ministry stating that the victims were all civilians.
The Israeli military has been accused of carrying out the attacks, with the Palestinian Authority condemning the violence and calling for an immediate end to the "aggressive actions".
The Israeli military has not commented on the allegations, but a spokesperson for the Israeli Prime Minister’s office said that the military was "operating in the West Bank to prevent terrorist attacks and to protect the citizens of Israel".
The attacks come amid a surge in violence in the region, with both sides trading blame for the escalation.
The Palestinian health ministry has reported that over 100 people have been killed in the West Bank since the start of the year, with many more injured.
The Israeli military has also reported that several of its soldiers have been killed in the violence, with the country’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, vowing to take "all necessary measures" to protect the country’s citizens.
The international community has called for restraint and an end to the violence, with the United Nations Secretary-General, António Guterres, urging both sides to "exercise maximum restraint and to work towards a peaceful resolution".
The situation in the West Bank remains tense, with many Palestinians calling for international intervention to end the violence and to establish a lasting peace in the region.
