Palestinian youth resisted the Israeli occupation forces' incursion into the Kafr Sabaa neighborhood in Qalqilya, despite live ammunition and stun grenades being fired at them by invading Israeli forces.

Similarly, Israeli occupation forces raided the town of Awarta and the village of Tall, south of Nablus, and conducted patrols in several neighborhoods.

Israeli occupation forces entered the Shuafat refugee camp north of occupied al-Quds, preparing to demolish the home of the martyr Fadi Jamjoum, who was killed by Israeli fire last February for allegedly carrying out a shooting operation east of Asqalan; located inside the '48 occupied territories.

Furthermore, eyewitnesses reported that Israeli occupation forces entered the camp along with military reinforcements and forced out Jamjoum's family in preparation for the demolition of their house. This is considered a form of collective punishment and is banned under international law.

Additionally, Israeli occupation forces entered the cities of Ramallah and al-Bireh, with local sources confirming that several occupation vehicles entered the Um Al-Sharayet neighborhood in Ramallah and Jabal al-Taweel in al-Bireh.

It was also reported that the IOF raided Jenin and faced difficult confrontations that they were forced to withdraw.

Silent Nakba: IOF demolish 47 homes in al-Naqab, exiles Palestinians

The Israeli occupation forces demolished 47 homes belonging to the Abu Asa bedouin family in the Palestinian desert of al-Naqab on May 8, leaving them in permanent exile.

The supreme Arab guidance committee of the region stated that Israeli occupation forces had planned road closures in the area early in the morning to prevent protests.

According to the committee, this demolition marks the largest single-day home demolition operation in decades.

The Bedouin groups residing in al-Naqab are traditional Arab tribes with a history of cultivating the land dating back to the 16th century.

It is important to note that this comes amid the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip and the daily raids into the West Bank.
