The Palestinian Ministry of Health affirmed on Monday that three martyrs were killed by Israeli bullet fire, while nine other Palestinians, including a child, were injured, during the Israeli occupation forces' raid of Nablus in the West Bank.

Adam Farraj, 23, Motaz Al-Nabulsi, 28, and another Palestinian who has not been identified yet, were killed by "Israel" as its forces stormed the city of Nablus. Martyr Adam Farraj was targeted after discovering a special Israeli force on his way to his sister's wedding. Amid clashes between the martyr and the occupation soldiers, he was shot and killed.

In turn, the Palestinian Red Crescent reported that the IOF seized an ambulance transporting a severely injured Palestinian near the al-Balata camp in Nablus and later announced his martyrdom after succumbing to wounds sustained in clashes between the IOF and the Palestinian Resistance.

The Hamas movement mourned the martyrs. Moreover, the Coordination Committee of the Resistance Factions in Nablus declared Tuesday a "national day for mourning and escalation in all contact sites, in anger for the blood of the martyrs."

Violence in the West Bank has heightened considerably since the start of the Gaza genocide. An estimated 523 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli troops or settlers in the West Bank since October 7.

Palestinian Resistance forces IOF to withdraw

The Palestinian Resistance detonated an Israeli military vehicle with an explosive device in the vicinity of al-Balata camp in Nablus.

The al-Quds Brigades - Nablus Brigade, the Martyr Tamer al-Kilani Force, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, and the Youth of Vengeance and Liberation, clashed with Israeli occupation forces amid their raid of al-Quds Street and the vicinity of the al-Balata camp earlier.

The Palestinian Resistance consequently forced the IOF to retreat and withdraw after targeting them and achieving direct hits.

In Beit Lahm, Israeli settlers threw rocks at Palestinian cars at the entrance of the Efrat settlement. Settlers also stole livestock and killed others in an attack near the villages of al-Mughayyir and Kafr Malik in northeastern Ramallah.
