In the early hours of Saturday, Israeli occupation forces carried out incursions into several towns in the occupied West Bank amid intense confrontations with Palestinian Resistance fighters.

Supported by armored military vehicles, Israeli occupation forces raided the towns of Kafr Thulth and Azzun east of Qalqilya, and Tuqu' southeast of Beit Lahm, as well as the Balata refugee camp east of Nablus.

Palestinian youths confronted the Israeli forces' incursions, and confrontations were reported at the al-Tayaseer checkpoint east of Tubas in the occupied West Bank.

Additionally, Israeli occupation forces fired tear gas canisters during their raid into the Shuafat refugee camp north of occupied al-Quds where they detained a Palestinian woman.
