Israeli forces surged into a significant Palestinian community in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday, to the vehement condemnation of Saudi Arabia’s Foreign Ministry.
At least 10 Palestinians were murdered and numerous more were injured during the four-hour raid, which the Israeli military claimed was conducted to find wanted militants.
Health officials said that a 16-year-old boy and two Palestinian men, aged 72 and 61, were among the fatalities. The ministry reaffirmed the Kingdom’s opposition to Israel’s flagrant transgressions of international law.

It urged the international community to fulfil its obligations to put an end to the occupation, halt Israeli aggression, and provide the necessary security for civilians.
The ministry also sent its heartfelt condolences to the Palestinian government and people, the families of the deceased, and wished the injured a swift recovery.
