Amid ongoing attacks on Gaza, Israeli forces attacked ten cities across the occupied West Bank, breaking into homes, seizing 2.7 million dollars from businesses, and killing one Palestinian.

- 313 Palestinians killed in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem.
- Israel revises its estimated October 7 death toll down from 1,405 to 1,139.

Some rights groups put the death toll number closer to 30,000 when accounting for those presumed dead.
