Al-Qassam Brigades in the West Bank revealed that its fighters clashed with Israeli occupation forces in the al-Faraa camp, in the south of Tubas, earlier on Wednesday.
The IOF raided the al-Faraa camp and sent in military reinforcement and two bulldozers from the Hamra military checkpoint, which in turn demolished streets and entrances to local stores, particularly in the camp's main market, while infantry forces and snipers were widely deployed around and inside the camp.
Confrontations broke out amid the IOF's incursion, lasting for over four hours, Palestinian media reported.
Over the past week, Al-Qassam reported that the movement had carried out shooting and detonation operations against Israeli military vehicles across southern and northern West Bank.
Yesterday, the expert on Palestinian Resistance affairs, Hani Al-Dali, told Al Mayadeen that the occupied West Bank has become a powder keg on the verge of exploding in the face of the Israeli occupation.
He added that the uprise in the West Bank will also extend to the occupied 1948 territories, occupied al-Quds, and to the depths of the Israeli entity, exhausting the IOF and distracting them with operations they cannot catch up to, as it carries out its operations in Gaza.

A response to growing violence in the West Bank
In the early hours of Wednesday, a car-ramming operation took place near the "Kochav Yair" settlement, west of Qalqilya, injuring four Israeli occupation forces, two of whom are in critical condition.
Meanwhile, the Israeli police reported that the individual who carried out the operation had attempted to stab security personnel at a military checkpoint near the location of the operation.
This comes as retaliation to the increasing Israeli violence in the West Bank. Several days ago, Israeli settlers assaulted Palestinians and trespassed onto their properties in the occupied West Bank, blocking farmers from herding their cattle near "Arab al-Mlayhat" to the northwest of Areeha.
The General Supervisor of the al-Baydar Organization, which defends Bedouin rights in the region, Hassan Mlayhat, said that a number of settlers armed with rifles surrounded herders in the aforementioned area and denied them access to their land at gunpoint.
"Israel" also continues mass-arresting Palestinians in the West Bank. The total number of detained Palestinians from the West Bank and al-Quds since October 7 is estimated at 7,800, including those who were detained from their homes, at military checkpoints, those who surrendered under pressure, and those taken as hostages.
