More than 100 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank since the war erupted between Israel and Hamas on October 7, the Palestinian Health Ministry has said.

Violence had already surged in the West Bank before the conflict began, with the death toll in the Palestinian territory at its highest since 2005.

Many of the deaths were the result of raids by the Israeli military, but there has also been an increase in violence between Palestinians and Israeli settlers.

The latest conflict between Israel and Hamas, which controls Gaza, began when militants attacked Israel, killing more than 1,400 people and taking 222 hostages.

Gaza's Health Ministry said on Tuesday that more than 6,500 people had been killed, mostly civilians, as Israel continues its retaliatory bombardment of the enclave.

Since October 7, tensions have surged in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, with the Palestinian death toll reaching 102, the Health Ministry in Ramallah said.

The Israeli military has reported one troop death during a raid in that period.

In the latest violence, four Palestinians were killed in Jenin and one in Qalqilya, both in the northern West Bank. One Palestinian was killed in Qalandia, north of Jerusalem.

The ministry blamed Israeli "bullets and missiles" for the deaths.

The West Bank has emerged as another front in the war with Israel.

The Israeli military said it launched a drone strike on the densely populated Jenin refugee camp, where it said "armed terrorists fired and hurled explosive devices at Israeli security forces".

In Qalqilya, soldiers fired on people who "hurled explosive devices, Molotov cocktails and rocks at the forces", a military spokeswoman told AFP.

Troops also opened fire in Qalandia, which the army said was a response to people who "threw burning tyres, blocks and IEDs [improvised explosive devices] and shot at forces".

The drone attack was at least the third use of Israeli air power in the West Bank since the start of the conflict.

Jenin refugee camp was the focus of a major Israeli military operation this year.

Israel has occupied the West Bank since the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and withdrew troops from Gaza in 2005, before imposing a blockade on the enclave.

What is Folia?

Prince Khaled bin Alwaleed bin Talal's new plant-based menu will launch at Four Seasons hotels in Dubai this November. A desire to cater to people looking for clean, healthy meals beyond green salad is what inspired Prince Khaled and American celebrity chef Matthew Kenney to create Folia. The word means "from the leaves" in Latin, and the exclusive menu offers fine plant-based cuisine across Four Seasons properties in Los Angeles, Bahrain and, soon, Dubai.

Kenney specialises in vegan cuisine and is the founder of Plant Food Wine and 20 other restaurants worldwide. "I’ve always appreciated Matthew’s work," says the Saudi royal. "He has a singular culinary talent and his approach to plant-based dining is prescient and unrivalled. I was a fan of his long before we established our professional relationship."

Folia first launched at The Four Seasons Hotel Los Angeles at Beverly Hills in July 2018. It is available at the poolside Cabana Restaurant and for in-room dining across the property, as well as in its private event space. The food is vibrant and colourful, full of fresh dishes such as the hearts of palm ceviche with California fruit, vegetables and edible flowers; green hearb tacos filled with roasted squash and king oyster barbacoa; and a savoury coconut cream pie with macadamia crust.

In March 2019, the Folia menu reached Gulf shores, as it was introduced at the Four Seasons Hotel Bahrain Bay, where it is served at the Bay View Lounge. Next, on Tuesday, November 1 – also known as World Vegan Day – it will come to the UAE, to the Four Seasons Resort Dubai at Jumeirah Beach and the Four Seasons DIFC, both properties Prince Khaled has spent "considerable time at and love". 

There are also plans to take Folia to several more locations throughout the Middle East and Europe.

While health-conscious diners will be attracted to the concept, Prince Khaled is careful to stress Folia is "not meant for a specific subset of customers. It is meant for everyone who wants a culinary experience without the negative impact that eating out so often comes with."

'THE WORST THING YOU CAN EAT'

Trans fat is typically found in fried and baked goods, but you may be consuming more than you think.

Powdered coffee creamer, microwave popcorn and virtually anything processed with a crust is likely to contain it, as this guide from Mayo Clinic outlines: 

Baked goods - Most cakes, cookies, pie crusts and crackers contain shortening, which is usually made from partially hydrogenated vegetable oil. Ready-made frosting is another source of trans fat.

Snacks - Potato, corn and tortilla chips often contain trans fat. And while popcorn can be a healthy snack, many types of packaged or microwave popcorn use trans fat to help cook or flavour the popcorn.

Fried food - Foods that require deep frying — french fries, doughnuts and fried chicken — can contain trans fat from the oil used in the cooking process.

Refrigerator dough - Products such as canned biscuits and cinnamon rolls often contain trans fat, as do frozen pizza crusts.

Creamer and margarine - Nondairy coffee creamer and stick margarines also may contain partially hydrogenated vegetable oils.
