The commander of the al-Quds Brigades in the West Bank stated today, Wednesday, that "since the beginning of the Israeli aggression on Jenin, our heroes have continued to trap Israeli forces and military vehicles in ambushes."

He emphasized, "What we will reveal at the end of this battle will prove that the image of victory, which the enemy failed to achieve in Gaza, will not be realized in the West Bank."

The commander disclosed that "in recent days, we succeeded in deploying certain ground and guided explosive devices," noting that "the detonation of military jeeps in Qabatiya and Tubas was merely a message of what awaits the occupation’s leaders and soldiers in the streets and alleys of West Bank camps."

He added, "Our fighters have established operations rooms to coordinate field efforts and enhance joint action alongside fighters from the Qassam Brigades and the Youth of Revenge and Liberation. The Qalqilya hotel operation sent a clear message to both our adversaries and allies that our reach extends everywhere."

He also criticized the complicity of the Palestinian Authority security forces, accusing them of "collaborating with the occupation forces in storming towns, besieging our injured fighters in villages, towns, medical centers, and hospitals, and attempting to arrest them to ease the task for the occupation." He stressed that such actions "only tarnish their image in the face of our people's sacrifices."

In a message to the Palestinian people, the commander assured, "Our fighters are in good condition and in high spirits. The army that failed to claim victory over Gaza's fighters will not succeed in the West Bank. The cities and camp alleys of the West Bank will only yield coffins for the occupation's leaders and soldiers."

On Tuesday, the Israeli military announced the launch of a military operation in Jenin, naming it "Operation Iron Wall."

Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported that the death toll in Jenin province has risen to 10, including a child, with 40 injured during the ongoing Israeli aggression on the city and its refugee camp.
