Resistance fighters from Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade targeted the Dotan settlement and a settler's vehicle with heavy gunfire, resulting in direct hits.

Simultaneously, confrontations broke out between Palestinian youth and Israeli occupation forces following a protest against Israeli aggression in al-Arroub refugee camp, north of al-Khalil in the West Bank.

Meanwhile, field reports indicated that Israeli occupation forces have deployed military reinforcements to the al-Am'ari camp in Ramallah following a raid by a unit of Israeli forces.

On his part, Al Mayadeen's correspondent also noted that IOF barred residents of Burqa village, east of Ramallah, from accessing their land to harvest olives.

Local media reported that two young men, Qusai Ramadan Abu Kwiq and Azzam al-Koubri, were arrested during the raid on the al-Am'ari camp in Ramallah. Additionally, IOF detained former Palestinian detainee Iyad al-Wazir after raiding his home in the Balata camp, east of Nablus, and arrested five Palestinians from al-Khalil in the southern West Bank.

Israeli forces also stormed the town of Anabta from the Anab checkpoint to the east, patrolling both main and side streets, obstructing vehicle movement, and pursuing several cars before running over a young Palestinian man riding a motorcycle.

Ben Gvir leads settler raid on Al-Aqsa mosque

Hundreds of settlers, led by Israeli Minister of Police Itamar Ben Gvir, stormed al-Aqsa Mosque this morning, with heavy protection from Israeli occupation forces.

Islamic Waqf of al-Quds reported that more than 1,066 settlers stormed the al-Aqsa compound in the morning, coinciding with a Jewish holiday, noting that IOF closed the Mughrabi Gate.

Settlers carried out their raid into the al-Aqsa Mosque compound in successive groups from the direction of the Mughrabi Gate, conducting provocative tours in the courtyards.

A settler was spotted blowing a horn on the eastern side of al-Aqsa Mosque, just a few meters from Bab al-Rahma, while Israeli forces stood by and closely monitored the scene.

During the incursion, Israeli forces obstructed the entry of Palestinian worshippers into the compound, deploying a heavy presence at its gates to facilitate the settlers' activities.

It is worth noting that the Palestinian Authority’s Commission for Detainees and Ex-Detainees and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Club have lately announced in a joint report that the number of arrests in the West Bank and occupied al-Quds has risen to over 11,300 Palestinians since October 7, 2023.
