The occupation forces arrested three brothers during their incursion into the town of Beita, south of Nablus in the West Bank.
This evening, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades claimed responsibility for targeting the "Karmei Tzur" settlement with machine guns.
Early this morning, Israeli occupation forces raided the West Bank city of Ramallah and murdered a young Palestinian.
Martyr Muhammad al-Deek, who was only 16 years old, was killed after he succumbed to his wounds caused by direct fire from Israeli occupation forces who raided the town of Kafr Ni’ma in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.
However, the Israeli occupation did not just raid Ramallah. In what has become a daily practice aimed at terrorizing Palestinians in the occupied West Bank of occupied Palestine, the Israeli occupation raided several cities and detained several Palestinians.
