Israeli occupation forces raided several Palestinian cities and towns across the occupied West Bank on Sunday overnight. 

Large convoys of occupation forces, which included a military-grade armored bulldozer, were deployed to the city of Tulkarm, which lies on the westernmost side of the West Bank, meaning that it is located opposite several central cities under Israeli occupation.

Israeli raids on Tulkarm and nearby towns and refugee camps in the governorate have become near-daily, as the occupation seeks to oppress fast-growing organized actions of resistance, especially in the northern West Bank.

The raid on Tulkarm was met with fierce resistance, led by the city's youth, who confronted occupation forces at the eastern entrance of the city. Reinforcements were sent to the city on Monday dawn, while Israeli sniper units were deployed in the area.

To the east of the city, in the town of Ramin, occupation forces conducted another raid, in which they fired live bullets, sound bombs, and toxic tear gas.

In the southern West Bank governorate of al-Khalil, in Halhoul, occupation forces detained the freed Maher al-Atrash and his son Yazen, as well as Rafi' Madieh.

Not only has the Israeli military command launched hundreds of incursions and raids into the occupied West Bank to oppress Palestinians and their actions in support of the besieged Gaza Strip, but it has also taken advantage of the territory to train regular and reserve forces.

Occupation forces have reportedly led mass incursions into Palestinian cities and towns, seeking to terrorize Palestinians and ensure their combat readiness. According to Israeli media outlets, the Israeli military command is preparing its forces for a large-scale incursion, which will be launched from Monday to Tuesday, for the aforementioned purposes.
