In the aftermath of the shooting, Israeli forces carried out an incursion into Nablus city and faced violent backlash from Resistance fighters, as per Israeli reports.

The factions also called on Palestinians across the West Bank, occupied al-Quds, and the territories occupied since 1948 to escalate resistance, carry out painful and impactful operations against the occupation, and target its soldiers and settlers everywhere in Palestinian territories, in solidarity with the bloodshed in Gaza

West Bank Shifts Toward Gaza and Lebanon-Like Conditions: Israeli media

Israeli media outlets have expressed growing concerns over developments in the West Bank, likening the situation to that of Gaza and Lebanon amidst continued resistance against frequent Israeli military incursions.

Reports highlight the Israeli military's concerns regarding the increasing use of deadly explosive devices by Palestinian militants across the West Bank. These devices, reminiscent of tactics employed by Hezbollah in southern Lebanon during the 1980s, are said to pose a significant threat to Israeli forces operating in the region, as per reports.

The shift in dynamics within the West Bank is further indication of evolving military operations and the acquisition of advanced weaponry and capabilities by local resistance groups.

Israeli commentators suggest that these developments point out to a worrying trend towards a more entrenched and volatile conflict environment similar to that experienced in Gaza and southern Lebanon.
