Palestinian media reported that during the early hours of Sunday, Resistance fighters responded to invading Israeli occupation forces with gunfire and IEDs after the latter stormed various areas and towns in the West Bank. 

Jenin

The IOF raided the town of Qabatiya, south of Jenin, and detained several of its civilians, after flying drones over the town. Clashes then broke out between the IOF and Resistance fighters. The Resistance reportedly targeted Israeli vehicles using IEDs amid constant confrontations. 

The IOF also intensified its occupational military presence in the vicinity of Qabatiya, reaching villages including Masliya, al-Jarba, Marka, Sanur, and Triangle of Martyrs. Snipers were deployed on building rooftops, while special Mista'arvim units invaded other parts of the towns. 

Palestinian media reported that two Palestinians were injured by gunfire amid clashes while resisting the IOF. 

Israeli special forces also stormed the al-Hadaf neighborhood in Jenin, but were faced with the defending Resistance fighters. The IOF called for reinforcements during clashes with the Resistance, asking for aid.

In southeast Jenin, Resistance fighters targeted the IOF with IEDs, as the latter raided the town of Tayasir, south of Tubas.

To the east of Qalaqiya, the IOF and reinforcements invaded the town of Azzun.

Also in Ramallah, the occupation forces raided the town of Deir Ghassana, stormed the town of Beitunia, west of the city, raided a house, and arrested the two young brothers, Zakaria and Taha Armoush.

As part of its widespread aggression against the cities of the West Bank, the occupation forces also carried out several incursions into al-Khalil, in the south of the West Bank, storming the towns of Sair, Shuyoukh, and Bani Naim, and detaining the secretary of the Fatah movement in the town of Shuyoukh, Issa Tafesh, and his sons Muhammad, Qousai and Ahmed. They also stole two vehicles in al-Khalil.

Also in the southern West Bank, Israeli forces stormed the city of Beit Lahm, re-arrested liberated prisoner, Muhammad Hafs Abu Zaid, and stole his vehicle.

The incursions into the West Bank, which have been more aggressive since October 7, are being confronted by local Palestinians who have increasingly mobilized and joined the ranks of Resistance factions across the cities, camps, and neighborhoods.

Netanyahu rejects Palestinian statehood, insists on West Bank control

The Israeli occupation's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his uncompromising position on maintaining full security control over the occupied West Bank.

"I will not compromise on full Israeli security control over all the territory west of Jordan," Netanyahu wrote in a post on X. "And this is contrary to a Palestinian state."

Netanyahu declared that his "insistence has prevented for years the establishment of a Palestinian state that would have constituted an existential threat to Israel." In addition to emphasizing control over the West Bank, Netanyahu also underscored the necessity of disarming Gaza and bringing it under Israeli security control.
