The Palestinian Resistance in the West Bank confronted Israeli occupation forces during incursions in several cities, using gunfire and explosive devices.
These confrontations were marked by intense fighting, repression, and mass detention campaigns carried out by the occupation forces.
In Tubas, the al-Qassam Brigades announced that its fighters engaged the Israeli occupation forces in fierce confrontations with automatic weapons near the city’s main street, forcing the IOF to withdraw. During the incursion, the Israeli occupation launched an airstrike on Tubas, killing two Palestinians.
In a precedented move, medical teams were prevented from reaching the martyrs as Israeli occupation forces detained their bodies.
Earlier, an undercover Israeli occupation special unit infiltrated central Tubas disguised in civilian clothing and stormed a money exchange company.
Once their presence was revealed, the Israeli occupation deployed reinforcements and military vehicles in various neighborhoods, seizing equipment and documents from the company. During the operation, a young man from Tubas was detained.
