Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the West Bank reported that Mohammad Zakaria Zubeidi, son of detained Palestinian Resistance leader Zakaria Zubeidi, was martyred in an Israeli occupation airstrike targeting a vehicle in Tubas shortly after midnight on Thursday.
The Palestinian Red Crescent confirmed that four martyrs were killed alongside Zubeidi, who is from Jenin, following the Israeli occupation's airstrikes on vehicles in Tubas and al-Far’a camp.

A sixth martyr was also reported in the West Bank, killed by Israeli occupation gunfire during confrontations.
Palestinian news outlets reported that Israeli occupation forces severely assaulted an injured young man, using a bulldozer to drag him on the street in al-Far’a camp, Tubas.
During the raid, Palestinian Resistance fighters retaliated against the raiding IOF by targeting them with a high-explosive device in the al-Far’a camp. The Israeli occupation forces later stated that its troops had come under fire in the area.
At dawn, Israeli forces stormed the Aqabat Jabr camp in Ariha, West Bank, leading to confrontations with Resistance fighters in the area.
Moreover, another Israeli occupation force raided Beitunia, west of Ramallah, carrying out a large-scale detention campaign.
Additionally, the Israeli occupation forces raided a house in Al-Ain camp, west of Nablus, in the occupied West Bank.
Speaking to Al Mayadeen, journalist Firas Tanina reported that Israeli occupation forces detained journalist Ali Dar Ali, a Palestine TV correspondent, from his home in Burham, north of Ramallah.
West Bank resists as IOF expand military operations
Israeli media reported that the Israeli military has extended its operation in Jenin, with sources indicating that forces may soon be redeployed from Gaza to the West Bank.
Amir Bohbot, a military affairs analyst for Israeli news site Walla, reported that the fighting in the Jenin refugee camp was expected to conclude yesterday. However, the decision was made to prolong the operation due to "ongoing intelligence about militant activities". This extension follows instructions from Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, as per Bohbot.
Bohbot reported that the recent confrontations resulted in the death of a soldier from Battalion 906 and injuries to five others. The Israeli army plans to bolster the area with additional Border Guard units, engineering vehicles, special reserve forces, and troops from the Infantry School, he added.
In a related context, Israeli military sources suggested that a broader operation may be considered, involving the Etzion Brigade and Yehuda Regional Brigade due to "escalating security alerts and potential threats." There is also a warning that, given the rising operations in the West Bank, there may be a necessity to transfer forces from Gaza to the West Bank to expand the military campaign, as per the sources.
