IOF incursions in West Bank, Resistance confronts 

The al-Quds Brigade - Nablus announced that its fighters have been confronting Israeli invading forces in the Balata camp's eastern axis and its vicinity, pouring bullet volleys and Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) against the Israeli soldiers and military vehicles. 

The occupation forces stormed the vicinity of Balata Camp from the Awarta checkpoint, deploying several snipers on the rooftops of nearby buildings. They opened fire on citizens, injuring several of them, and prevented ambulance vehicles from entering the camp to transport the injured.

The Palestinian Health Ministry announced the martyrdom of Mohammed Medhat Amer, an 18-year-old boy, after succumbing to gunshot wounds sustained during the IOF's raid in the Blaata camp during the early hours of Saturday. 

Moreover, the Israeli aggression on the camp left nine Palestinians injured, four of whom are in critical condition. Meanwhile, Hamas leader Mahmoud Mardawi has declared that the Israeli occupation will not be able to bring safety to its troops and settlers in the West Bank no matter how many strict security measures it takes.

Mardawi stressed that the Palestinian people are committed to resistance and steadfastness, "no matter the sacrifices it costs," emphasizing that the Resistance operations in the West Bank "will not stop despite the occupation's aggression and the pursuit of the resistance fighters and our people by the security forces of the Authority."
