Our correspondent said that Palestinian youth in Nablus confronted the intruding forces using locally made explosive devices and gunfire. The correspondent added that the settlers were able to enter Qaber Youssef, however, under protection from Israeli forces.
Al-Quds Brigades - Nablus Brigade announced that its fighters confronted Israeli forces using improvised explosive devices (IEDs) scoring direct hits among the enemy force on four different axes, which are: Amman Street, Al-Quds Street, the vicinity of Qaber Youssef, and the entrance of the Balata camp.

Furthermore, the group revealed that a new IED, Nabulsi 1, has entered into service and was used on multiple fronts where it proved its effectiveness.
The device is named after Martyr Ibrahim Al-Nabulsi, the late leader of Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, who was assassinated alongside his comrades by Israeli forces in August 2022.

The Brigades also announced that its Balata fighter targeted the busses which carried settlers towards the Qaber Youssef with gunfire.
Moreover, the Palestinian Red Crescent issued a statement confirming that 35 Palestinians were injured, three of which were targeted with live bullets.
The Red Crescent also reported that an infant girl suffocated after Israeli forces targeted her residence with tear gas canisters as the ambulance that was headed towards her was also targeted.
It's worth noting that Israeli media outlets circulated pictures of the Israeli police chief, Yaakov Shabtai, and the head of the West Bank settlements council, Yossi Dagan, among settlers who headed into Qaber Youssef.
