The al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, announced on its Telegram channel today, Wednesday, that its leadership had obtained "valuable information" after taking control of Israeli occupation forces' drones in the West Bank.
The al-Quds Brigades broadcast footage of the operation, which they codenamed Blinding Vision, along with a portion of the information extracted from the drones they were permitted to publish.
An al-Quds Brigades field commander in the West Bank explained that the extracted intel had a major impact on their operational capabilities, which they demonstrated by carrying out several attacks against occupation positions, checkpoints, and military points and by planting IEDs along the routes taken by military vehicles.
Resistance operations intensify
Further evidencing the commander's statements, the al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced they detonated a ground-based "Tufan" explosive device in the path of military vehicles raiding the town of Qabatiya.
Similarly, the Jenin Brigade announced on October 27 that its fighters had targeted a route used by Israeli occupation army vehicles with an explosive device in the town of Jaba'a in the occupied West Bank.
Meanwhile, the field commander further confirmed that all the al-Quds Brigades' formations and units continue to inflict losses on the occupation through new, adaptive field tactics, reassuring the Palestinian people that while the Resistance's capabilities are strong, "our rifles will remain aimed at the Nazi occupation."
"The arenas of confrontation will remain ablaze until the occupier is vanquished," he added.
The al-Quds Brigades commander also stressed that military action in the West Bank will not cease, promising the enemy more to come "as long as its policy of cowardly assassinations and the violations and crimes committed by its soldiers and herds of settlers against our people continue."
Israeli settlers attack Palestinian olive pickers in the West Bank
This comes as settler violence and Israeli occupation forces raids escalate across the West Bank, with many Israeli settlers attacking Palestinians as they attempt to harvest olives on their orchards.
Three Palestinian olive pickers sustained injuries on October 28 when they were attacked by illegal Israeli settlers in various locations across the occupied West Bank, as reported by local sources.
According to sources speaking to Anadolu, settlers blocked farmers from the towns of Sinjil and Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah, from reaching their olive groves, which prompted the intervention of Israeli forces who fired tear gas canisters to disperse the confrontations.
In the northern West Bank, witnesses reported that approximately 100 settlers attacked Palestinian families who were harvesting olives in Kafr Qaddum, east of Qalqilya, beating them and injuring at least two people, while in Jurish, south of Nablus, an elderly Palestinian man sustained bruises after settlers forced farmers off their land.
These incidents are part of a wider surge in settler attacks during the annual olive harvest, which typically begins in mid-October.
The Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission reported that over the past two years, settlers have carried out 7,154 assaults against Palestinians and their property in the occupied West Bank, resulting in 33 killings and the mass displacement of 33 Bedouin communities.
Muayyad Shaaban, head of the commission, noted that Ramallah recorded 83 attacks, Nablus 69, and al-Khalil 34. He added that roughly 1,070 olive trees were damaged this season, calling it “the most difficult and dangerous in decades” due to "Israel’s" use of “closed military zones” to block Palestinian access to farmland.
