The Palestinian Ministry of Health (MOH) has reported that Israeli soldiers shot and killed 27 Palestinians including three killed in Jerusalem on Monday meanwhile more than 1400 others were injured by Israeli troops gunfire since the start of October.

The MOH said in its report that among the 27 killed Palestinians there are seven children. According to the press statement 16 Palestinians were killed in the West Bank and 11 from the Gaza Strip since October.

The Ministry of Health report also showed that since the start of October 4000 residents were treated for the effects of tear gas inhalation fired by Israeli troops targeting Palestinian protesters.

Three Palestinians were killed on Monday after being shoot dead by Israeli soldiers in Jerusalem. On Monday evening the Israeli military claimed that a Palestinian man stabbed an Israeli passenger on a bus in Jerusalem and a soldier on the bus shot and killed the man.

But the Israeli military account is contradictory claiming that the victim of the stabbing attack was a civilian passenger but that a soldier was taken to the hospital with light wounds. No civilian victim was identified or taken to the hospital which has led to speculation that the Israeli military spokesperson's account may not be entirely accurate.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health stated on Monday that 25 Palestinians have been injured during ongoing clashes between local youth and invading Israeli soldiers in West Bank communities.

Clashes were reported in the central West Bank city of Ramallah Nablus and Tulkarem in northern West Bank and in the southern West Bank cities of Bethlehem and Hebron.

In related news the Palestinian Prisoners' Association said that 400 Palestinians have been arrested by Israeli forces in the past ten days.

The Association said that nearly half of those arrested are between the ages of 14 and 20. The Prisoners' Association noted that the arrests were mostly made in East Jerusalem and in Palestinian Authority controlled areas also known as area A.
