JERUSALEM (AA) — Three Israeli soldiers were injured in a roadside bomb explosion on Wednesday in the occupied West Bank, the military said.

A military statement said that two soldiers were in serious condition after an explosive device exploded at an army vehicle during “an operational activity” in Qabatiya, near Jenin in the northern West Bank. A third soldier sustained light injuries in the blast.

Tension has been running high across the West Bank due to Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, which has killed over 46,600 people, mostly women and children, since Oct. 7, 2023.

Over 850 Palestinians have since been killed and over 6,700 others injured by Israeli army fire in the occupied territory, according to the Health Ministry.

In July 2024, the International Court of Justice declared Israel's decades-long occupation of Palestinian land illegal and demanded the evacuation of all existing settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
