Today, Thursday, the Israeli occupation forces carried out a massive campaign of incursions into the cities of the occupied West Bank, amid clashes with Palestinian resistance fighters, while the Tulkarm Brigade announced that two Israeli soldiers had been wounded.
The Palestinian News Agency (Wafa) reported that the occupation forces arrested dozens of Palestinians in Hebron, Nablus, Bethlehem, Tulkarm, and Ramallah.
Wafa added that the occupation forces arrested a number of Gaza workers in Qawsin, west of Nablus, and in the Dheisheh camp, south of Bethlehem, and 11 Palestinians, including two brothers, from the town of Al-Dhaheriya, south of Hebron. It also arrested 8 Palestinians from the Nour Shams and Tulkarm camps, amid vandalism of streets and infrastructure.
The frenzy of arrests came after the occupation soldiers withdrew from the town of Ya`bad, south of the city of Jenin, following confrontations that resulted in the death of a 16-year-old boy and the wounding of others.
For its part, the Tulkarm Battalion – Rapid Response Group announced that two Israeli soldiers were injured during clashes with the occupation forces that stormed the Tulkarm camp.
The Palestinian battalion said in a statement on Telegram that its fighters “managed to wound two soldiers in the airport neighborhood inside the Tulkarm camp.”
The occupation forces stormed the city of Tulkarm, surrounded Thabet Thabet Hospital, and searched ambulances.
The West Bank witnesses daily raids and confrontations between Palestinians and the occupation forces, which carry out storming campaigns into villages and towns throughout the occupied West Bank and Jerusalem, accompanied by confrontations and arrests of Palestinians, bringing the total number of detainees to about 3,600 since last October 7.
The number of Palestinian martyrs killed by Israeli occupation bullets in the West Bank has risen to 473 since the beginning of this year, including 265 martyrs since last October 7.
This comes as the Israeli occupation army launches an aggression against the Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of more than 16,000 Palestinians and more than 43,000 wounded, most of them children and women, in addition to massive destruction of infrastructure and an unprecedented humanitarian disaster, according to official Palestinian sources.
