The Israeli occupation forces renewed their incursions into various areas of the West Bank during the past hours, and clashed with Palestinian resistance fighters in the city of Tubas.
Sources told Tel Aviv Tribune that the occupation forces’ raids before dawn on Thursday included the eastern region in the city of Nablus in the northern West Bank, and the village of Qibya, west of Ramallah.
The occupation forces stormed the town of Aqraba, west of the city of Tubas (north of the West Bank), and pushed a large military force, led by a military bulldozer, towards the town and targeted the house of the martyr Abdel Raouf Al-Masry.
Palestinian resistance fighters responded by targeting the invading forces with a heavy barrage of live bullets, and the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for the operation.

The occupation forces carried out an arrest campaign that included 3 Palestinians from the Ain al-Sultan and Aqabat Jabr camps in the city of Jericho. They also raided several homes in the two camps and destroyed their contents.
In Nablus, the Israeli occupation forces arrested a young man from the village of Rujib, east of the city. As for Tulkarm, the occupation forces arrested two citizens from the town of Qaffin in the northern West Bank.
In another development, sources told Tel Aviv Tribune that settlers attacked Palestinians on the outskirts of the village of Barqa, east of Ramallah.
In parallel with the ongoing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, the Israeli occupation army and settlers expanded their attacks in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and this resulted in the martyrdom of 813 Palestinians, the injury of about 6,450, and the arrest of more than 12,000 Palestinians, since October 7, 2023.
Israel continues its massacres, ignoring two arrest warrants issued by the International Criminal Court, last November 21, against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Galant, for committing war crimes and crimes against humanity against Palestinians in the Palestinian Gaza Strip.
