Sources from the West Bank reported that Israeli occupation forces withdrew from the camps of Tulkarm and Nur Shams hours after storming the two camps.

Earlier, Al Mayadeen's sources reported that Israeli occupation forces carried out an extensive campaign of incursions in various areas of cities in the occupied West Bank since the early hours of Tuesday, confirming the outbreak of confrontations between the Palestinian Resistance fighters and the raiding forces.

Large Israeli forces renewed their incursion into Tulkarm city from its western axis, just hours after withdrawing from the city in the northern West Bank after assassinating three members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the suburb of Iktaba.

The Israeli forces deployed reinforcements, including military bulldozers, toward Tulkarm city during the storming of the city and its camp. The occupation forces also positioned snipers on the rooftops of homes around the Tulkarm camp to tighten the siege according to informed sources to Al Mayadeen.

An Israeli drone targeted the Nur Shams camp in Tulkarm, resulting in casualties, according to local Palestinian media. Al Mayadeen sources confirmed that the Israeli forces hindered the work of ambulances during their large-scale incursion into Tulkarm and its camp.

Palestinian Resistance fighters targeted the raiding Israeli forces with gunfire and improvised explosive devices in Tulkarm city and the vicinity of its camp. Local media also reported sounds of explosive devices detonating as Resistance fighters repelled the advancement of Israeli military vehicles.

The Al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm camp Brigade claimed responsibility for targeting an Israeli military bulldozer with a powerful explosive device on the al-Shuhada neighborhood axis in the Tulkarm camp, confirming that its fighters damaged and disabled the bulldozer.

The Brigades mentioned that its Resistance fighters thwarted several Israeli attempts to infiltrate into the depths of the Tulkarm camp and monitored damaged Israeli military vehicles during the confrontations.

On its part, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Nur Shams camp said that its fighters engaged in fierce confrontations with Israeli occupation forces on various axes in the camp.

As intense confrontations escalated between Resistance fighters and occupation forces during the incursion into Nur Shams camp in Tulkarm, Palestinian media sources reported that the Resistance fighters in Tulkarm targeted points where occupation forces were concentrated with bullets and explosive devices in response to the assassination of the three members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the suburb of Iktaba.

During their incursion into Nur Shams camp in Tulkarm, Israeli occupation forces used military bulldozers to destroy several streets and raided a UNRWA school.

Simultaneously, Palestinian media sources told Al Mayadeen that reported that Israeli forces had invaded the towns of Kfar al-Labad and Anabta east of Qalqilya.

In Jenin, northern West Bank, Palestinian Resistance fighters threw homemade grenades toward Israeli forces during their incursion into the town of Arraba, southwest of the city. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in Jenin said its fighters engaged in violent confrontations with the raiding occupation forces in several axes in the town.

In the same context, Israeli occupation forces raided Nablus, in the northern West Bank, as well as the village of Madama south of the city, where they stormed several houses there.

Resistance forces also confronted the Israeli occupation forces during their incursion into Qalqilya in the central West Bank. The resistance engaged in armed confrontations with the raiding forces from various directions, including the towns of Kafr Qaddum and Azzun to the east of the city.

Palestinian youths in the Kfar Saba neighborhood of Qalqilya burned rubber tires amid confrontations with Israeli occupation forces who stormed the city, arrested three youths, and surrounded several houses.

In the central West Bank, Israeli forces raided the towns of Atara and Dura al-Qara' north of Ramallah.

In the southern West Bank, Israeli occupation forces carried out a series of incursions into several towns in the al-Khalil governorate, raiding the town of al-Dhahiriya south of al-Khalil backed with a number of military vehicles. The occupation forces also raided the al-Fawwar refugee camp and arrested two Palestinian youths after storming their houses.

To the east of al-Khalil, Israeli forces raided the town of Bani Naim and were met with armed resistance. Additionally, the occupation forces raided the town of Surif, north of the city.

In Beit Lahm, Israeli occupation forces raided the town of Husan west of the city, and re-arrested the released prisoner Mourad al-Sheikh from the town of Marah Rabah, south of the city.

It is worth noting that Israeli campaigns of incursions and arrests in the occupied West Bank cities and camps have been ongoing since October 7, coinciding with the occupation's continued aggression on the Gaza Strip, now entering its 95th consecutive day.
