The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) raided several towns and villages in the West Bank, during the early hours of Thursday until dawn, but were confronted by the Palestinian Resistance. 

In Tulkarm, a storming infantry force was confronted by the al-Qassam's Tulkarm Brigade, forcing its members to retreat to their military outposts, which were then targeted by the Resistance fighters before they safely withdrew to their positions. 

Meanwhile, Palestinian media reported that Resistance fighters engaged IOF soldiers with an Improvised Explosive Device (IED). Resistance fighters also fired at occupation soldiers storming Tulkarm.

As the IOF raided the town, they arrested Palestinian youth Saeed al-Ghezzawi from Ezbet al-Jarad, in northernmost Tulkarm, as well as a Palestinian woman.

In Qalqilya, occupation forces arrested two Palestinian youths, Hamza Nawfal and Ibrahim Mtouli, before they withdrew from the town.

Later, the occupation forces retreated from al-Khalil and headed to Surif and the al-Dahr area in the town of Beit Emr, north of the West Bank. 

They also stormed the town of Idhna, west of al-Khalil, and the city of Dura, south of it. Meanwhile, settlers attacked Palestinian homes and lands in Khallet al-Daba in Masafer Yatta, also south of al-Khalil.

Clashes erupted between the Resistance fighters and the occupation forces, during a raid south of the city of al-Khalil.

'Israel' approved largest West Bank land seizure in over 30 years

The largest seizure of land in the occupied West Bank in more than three decades has been just approved by "Israel", according to anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now, which could further exacerbate tensions already on the rise since the Israeli genocide on Gaza started on October 7.

The approved seizure involves 12.7 square kilometers (nearly 5 square miles) of land in the Jordan Valley. This, according to the group's research, constitutes the largest single seizure approved since the 1993 Oslo Accords

Following the seizure of 8 square kilometers (about 3 square miles) of land in the occupied West Bank in March and 2.6 square kilometers (1 square mile) in February, today's land seizure was approved late last month but was only made public on Wednesday.

The contiguous settlements are situated northeast of Ramallah, and the occupation has classified them as "state lands", meaning that Palestinians cannot own them and they can only be leased to Israelis.
