Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Movement, announced that its Resistance fighters in the Tulkarm Brigade carried out an infiltration operation into the “Einav” settlement, in the northern occupied West Bank.
In a statement, the Brigades confirmed that during the operation, its fighters stormed the military tower in the settlement and took control of it.
According to the Brigades, the operation resulted in the death of one Israeli settler and the wounding of another.
The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a statement on Monday evening that the number of martyrs in the occupied West Bank had reached 17 and more than 90 injuries, since the beginning of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood.
The ministry noted that the martyrs were distributed among the cities of Ramallah, al-Quds, Areeha, Qalqilya, al-Khalil, and Nablus.
Earlier, Israeli media confirmed that four settlers were injured, including two critically, in the bombing that targeted the illegal settlement of "Beitar Illit" in the occupied West Bank, south of al-Quds.
Hours earlier, Palestinian youths confronted Israeli occupation forces at the "Beit El" military checkpoint, north of the city of Ramallah, which led to the closure of the Israeli checkpoint.
On its part, the Lions’ Den Resistance group said in a statement that Operation Al-Aqsa Flood is the grand liberation battle for all Palestinians, pointing to the necessity of Palestinian fighters to transition from the defense phase to the offensive in the West Bank.
Palestinians in the occupied West Bank launched a comprehensive strike on Sunday morning, denouncing the Israeli aggression against Gaza, in conjunction with the occupation closing all crossings and preventing entry and exit to the West Bank, in addition to blocking roads in the region and the entrances to Palestinian cities.
It is noteworthy that when announcing the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, the Commander-in-Chief of Al-Qassam Brigades Mohammad Deif addressed the Palestinian people in the West Bank, calling for organizing operations against settlements and "sweeping out" the occupation.
