Israeli forces killed a person in an incursion into the city of Al-Bireh in the occupied West Bank on Tuesday, Palestinian media said, as Israeli military operations continued across the territory.

The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported that the person was killed during a raid by Israeli forces in Al-Bireh, adjacent to Ramallah. It was not immediately clear who the dead were or the circumstances of the shooting.

Israeli forces have been conducting nearly daily raids throughout the occupied West Bank. Palestinian officials and rights groups say the incursions have resulted in an increase in casualties, arrests and damage to infrastructure.
