The Nablus Brigade of the Al-Quds Brigades reported that its Resistance fighters confronted the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) that had "stormed the Old City" of Nablus, from multiple fronts, at dawn Monday. In turn, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades' Nablus Brigade reported that they had successfully lured and targeted a unit of the IOF entering from one of the fronts.

In a statement, the Al-Quds Brigades - Nablus Brigade explained that "its Resistance fighters were able to target the occupation forces and their vehicles, with heavy and successive salvoes of bullets and explosive devices, as well as engage in violent confrontations with them on more than one axis."

The IOF stormed the Old City of Nablus in large numbers since the early morning hours, while local media reported that violent confrontations took place between Resistance fighters and the IOF, which then were forced to withdraw from the city.

In turn, the Nablus Brigade affiliate of the Al-Aqsa Martyr Brigades said in their statement that "Zionist special forces were lured into the Al-Houh area near Al-Qahwa, and the forces were targeted with intense and blessed barrages of bullets, and two explosive devices were detonated among the invading forces."
