The Israeli occupation forces stormed multiple regions across the West Bank overnight Sunday, assaulting Palestinians while entering towns. The incursions were faced with heavy resistance and confrontations erupted in several cities.

Israeli occupation forces deployed military vehicles to conduct operations in neighborhoods and streets across Nablus, where tear gas canisters were fired into Palestinian homes, and resulting in fires in nearby agricultural areas, though no injuries were reported, according to eyewitnesses.

Additionally, the occupation forces carried out raids in western Nablus and the town of Qusra, southeast of the city. During their incursion into the village of Surra, west of Nablus, Palestinians reportedly retaliated by throwing Molotov cocktails at the Israeli forces, as reported by Palestinian media.

In Qalqilya, Israeli occupation forces conducted raids in the town of Jit, east of the city, and the village of Deir Abu Mash'al, northwest of Ramallah.

Furthermore, the occupation forces raided the village of Qalqas, located south of al-Khalil in the southern West Bank, where gunfire was reported near an Israeli occupation grouping at the village entrance.

The occupation forces then closed off the village entrance and all routes leading to al-Khalil, establishing checkpoints at multiple locations and intensifying vehicle searches targeting Palestinians.

Meanwhile, amidst the ongoing genocidal war in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian Resistance fighters, in the West Bank, are actively confronting, with gunfire and explosives, the daily raids conducted by Israeli occupation forces.

Meanwhile, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported the withdrawal of the Israeli occupation forces from Jenin and its refugee camp.

Early Thursday, Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Jenin and its refugee camp, bringing in reinforcements accompanied by military D-9 bulldozers through the al-Jalamah checkpoint. Confrontations erupted in the city after Israeli special units infiltrated the vicinity of Khalil Suleiman Governmental Hospital.

In detail, our correspondent mentioned that an explosive device targeted Israeli military vehicles in the Marj Ibn Amer area near Jenin, and according to locals, it seems to have been detonated remotely.

Israeli media described the ambush in Jenin as a "difficult incident", pointing out that a Panther-typed Israeli military armored personnel carrier (APC) in Jenin was targeted with two remotely detonated explosive devices.

The media mentioned that one soldier was killed and 16 others were injured with varying degrees of severity, adding that some of the injured were evacuated by three helicopters to different hospitals for treatment.

Later, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades, Abu Hamza, released a statement via his Telegram channel on Thursday, where he announced the brigades' responsibility for a major operation in the West Bank city of Jenin.
