During the early hours of Friday, Israeli occupation forces raided several towns and cities in the occupied West Bank, launching arrest campaigns and detaining Palestinian men, amid confrontations with the Palestinian Resistance.

In the northern West Bank, the IOF stormed the city of Nablus from the Beit Furik checkpoint, as well as the town of Burqa, the Iraq al-Tayeh neighborhood, and a residential building in the neighborhood.

In turn, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades fiercely confronted the occupation forces storming the vicinity of al-Rawda College in Nablus, targeting them with machine guns and explosive devices.

The IOF also stormed the towns of Amatin and Kafr Laqif, east of Qalqilya, northwest West Bank. In Kafr Laqif, a large-scale arrest campaign was launched, during which 50 Palestinians were detained, local Palestinian media reported.

After a raid that lasted several hours, the occupation forces withdrew from Kafr Laqif, releasing all detainees.

The southern West Bank also witnessed Israeli incursions, specifically in al-Khalil, which included the town of Idhna, northwest of the city, the town of Kharas, north of the city, and the Bir Haram al-Ram area.

The towns of Jifna, Turmus Ayya, and Birzeit, north of Ramallah were also raided. In Birzeit, the IOF detained a Palestinian man and confiscated his vehicle.

Occupation forces additionally stormed the Kafr Aqab neighborhood, north of occupied al-Quds, where it fired tear gas bombs at Palestinian vehicles, lighting them on fire.

Earlier, seven Palestinians were killed by Israeli bullet fire on Thursday, as the Israeli occupation forces stormed the town of Qabatiya, located in southernmost Jenin in the occupied West Bank after they besieged an area that includes Izzat Abu al-Rab and Qabatiya schools. 

The seven martyrs are Ahmad Zakarna, Mustafa Zakarna, Shadi Zakarna, Omar Abu al-Rab, Mohammed Abu al-Rab, and Mohammed Kumail. 

Two of the martyrs were killed by Israeli bullets, and one of them was killed after an Israeli drone struck a vehicle near the Maqahi complex in Qabatiya. Meanwhile, a child sustained severe injuries, and a Palestinian man was moderately injured after being shot by the IOF. 

Three others were martyred after being directly shot by live bullets, while 10 Palestinians were injured by the IOF, two of whom in an Israeli car ramming operation. 

The Israeli occupation forces then opted to throw the bodies of three Palestinian martyrs off the roof where they were killed after surrounding the structure. The IOF are not holding their bodies hostage after an Israeli bulldozer carried them away.
