Four Palestinians killed by 'Israel'
A significant number of Israeli military vehicles had raided the town of Qabatiya in Jenin on Tuesday dawn, along with a military bulldozer, and began destroying the town's infrastructure.
Palestinian media reported that Israeli snipers were positioned atop buildings across several neighborhoods in the town, while occupation soldiers stormed multiple homes, including the family homes of the martyrs who were killed in September.
The military bulldozer blocked the road connecting Qabatiya to the villages of south Jenin and bulldozed the entrance of the Khirbet Janzour village in south Jenin.
Additionally, the bulldozer destroyed the al-Shuhada Roundabout, located in the main entrance of Qabatiya, as violent confrontations occurred in its vicinity. In the meantime, the occupation forces continued requesting reinforcement into the town.
As a result, the Qabatiya Education Directorate announced the suspension of in-person classes for students on Tuesday, converting them to online learning.

Later, an Israeli drone targeted a vehicle in Muthalath al-Shuhada, resulting in the martyrdom of two Palestinians, Mohammad, and Shawqi As'ous, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent.
Local sources also reported that two Resistance fighters were martyred after being besieged in a house in the town of Tamun near Tubas and targeted with Energa shells, where the residents recovered the body of one of them, which had been in pieces, while the occupation forces seized the body of the other martyr after torturing him.
The Israeli forces had besieged a house in Tamun and shelled it with Energa shells, before withdrawing from the vicinity of the house, so that medical crews could retrieve the martyred fighter Hani Ali Bani Odeh, while the identity of the second martyr remained unknown.
Earlier, a drone bombed the al-Rafid area in the town of Tamun with a number of missiles, but no injuries were reported.
Continuous raids
Simultaneously, the Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Qalqilya at dawn today, Tuesday.
Local media reported that the occupation forces stormed the city from its eastern entrance, and drove their vehicles through many streets and neighborhoods, especially al-Wad Street, al-Marj area, Khallet Nofal, al-Masakwa area, and others.
These forces raided many homes, while the occupation soldiers abused a number of young men in the al-Masakwa area, injuring some of them, and conducted a field investigation with them.
In addition to storming the villages of Burin and Madama south of Nablus, the occupation forces also stormed the towns of Jabal al-Mukaber and Silwan in occupied al-Quds.
During the raids, the Israeli occupation forces detained at least 15 Palestinians, including a Tulkarm resident who was wounded during his arrest. According to the Palestinian Prisoner Society (PPS), the nature of his injury remains unknown.
A child was also detained, along with formerly liberated prisoners, the PPS revealed.
The aggression on the West Bank has exponentially increased since the start of the genocide in Gaza, with the Israeli occupation carrying out murders, raids, and detention campaigns across Palestinian towns and villages.
Since the outset of the ongoing Israeli aggression against the Palestinian people in October 2023, over 11,500 Palestinians have been detained by the occupation authorities in the West Bank, including occupied al-Quds.
