Israeli occupation forces stormed various areas in the occupied West Bank, conducted house raids and searches, and detained several Palestinians.

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.

Local news outlets reported that Israeli occupation forces carried out an incursion into the Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, deploying snipers on various buildings surrounding the camp.

Additionally, the IOF stormed the town of al-Khader, south of Beit Lahm, and the city of Tubas in the occupied West Bank.

Early on Tuesday, fierce armed confrontations broke out between Palestinian Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces during their incursion into the town of Yamoun, west of the city of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

Concurrently, IOF besieged neighborhoods in the town and conducted searches in several Palestinian homes as part of their efforts to arrest Palestinians pursued by the Israeli occupation.

On Monday, IOF killed a 16-year-old Palestinian child during confrontations in the town of Arraba, located southwest of Jenin city.

94% of probes into settlers violence led to no indictment: NGO

Earlier today, an Israeli organization reported that an analysis of Israeli police investigations into violence by Israeli settlers against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank reveals that between 2005 and September 2023, approximately 94% of scrutinized investigations were concluded without an indictment, with only three percent resulting in a conviction.

The study's revelations coincide with a significant increase in incidents of settler violence throughout 2023 with a more alarming surge in such attacks in the month following October 7. This escalation resulted in the forcible displacement of approximately 15 Palestinian villages in the Jordan Valley and the South al-Khalil Hills due to immense settler violence and harassment.

In its report, Yesh Din highlighted that, according to international law, Palestinian residents of the West Bank are recognized as "protected persons" for whom "Israel" bears the responsibility of safeguarding. The organization affirmed that the Israeli entity's prolonged failure to fulfill this duty suggests implicit support for violent attacks on Palestinian civilians.
