The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the al-Far'a refugee camp, located south of Tubas in the northeastern West Bank, announced ongoing confrontations between their fighters and Israeli forces storming the camp, particularly along the al-Ain axis.
The faction, Fatah's military wing, announced that their fighters had successfully targeted an Israeli military bulldozer with a highly explosive al-Khalid IED, rendering the vehicle inoperable.

The Israeli occupation forces, which have been intensifying their offensive and siege on the city of Tubas since late Tuesday night, infiltrated the camp shortly after midnight.
Medical sources in Palestine reported the martyrdom of Sufyan Jawad Faiz Abdel Jawad on Thursday after he was shot by an Israeli sniper in the camp.

On Wednesday, the Israeli occupation forces arrested 11 Palestinians from the city of Tubas and the town of Tammun. Palestinian media sources indicated that the Israeli occupation forces continue to block all entrances to Tubas, enforcing a curfew while maintaining a siege on the city's Turkish Government Hospital.
'Israel' destroying West Bank cities
Reports also highlight that the Israeli occupation forces have spread across the city, deploying snipers on the rooftops of several buildings, essentially transforming them into military outposts. Additionally, Israeli bulldozers have been destroying vehicles and private property in various neighborhoods.
In an interview with Al Mayadeen, journalist Mohammad Nazzal stated that the Israeli forces continue to raid several areas of the West Bank, carrying out demolitions in the camps. He emphasized that Israeli aggressions have been concentrated in the central and northern regions of the West Bank.
Nazzal further revealed that Israeli special forces stormed Halhul Hospital, north of al-Khalil, and arrested a wounded individual.
Meanwhile, the Israeli offensive in Tulkarm entered its third consecutive day. Eyewitnesses reported to Palestinian media that Israeli occupation forces used a mentally disabled Palestinian as a human shield during their ongoing raid on Tulkarm camp.
Early Thursday morning, the Israeli occupation forces launched an arrest campaign in the village of al-Lubban al-Gharbi, west of Ramallah, and in Sa'ir, north of al-Khalil.
Drone strike in Tulkarm
Three Palestinians were killed after the Israeli occupation forces targeted their vehicle near Tulkarm, in the northwestern West Bank, the Palestinian Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday.
The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that one martyr was completely charred, while body parts and remains scattered all over the site of the fire.
Of the three martyrs was al-Quds Brigades - Nur Shams Commander Imad al-Din Khodr Shehadeh, according to Palestinian sources.
That came as the IOF surrounded and sieged the al-Israa and al-Zakat Hospitals in Tulkarm. Occupation forces also launched smoke bombs on the entrance of the Nur Shams camp, while pushing into the Tulkarm camp with military reinforcement.
Meanwhile, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported that Israeli settlers were ordered to stay home and keep their windows and doors locked following the discovery of a breach in the Avnei Hefetz settlement fence. The IOF launched combing operations after being called to the site.
