Israeli occupation forces raided the Aida refugee camp in Nablus in the occupied West Bank on Monday, signaling a marked escalation in tensions in the region.
Reports indicated that special Israeli units, known as Musta'ribeen, infiltrated the al-Iyada neighborhood and surrounded a residential home. Eyewitnesses described a tense atmosphere as the forces deployed military reinforcements and positioned snipers on the rooftops of surrounding buildings.

Resistance fighters repel Israeli incursion into Jenin
In the early hours of the morning, Israeli occupation forces launched a major incursion into the city of Jenin from al-Nassera axis, only to be met with fierce resistance from Palestinian fighters armed with assault weapons and explosive devices.
Simultaneously, Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin announced its fighters successfully repelled the Israeli invading forces, raining heavy gunfire on the advancing troops from al-Nassera axis.
Resistance fighters also engaged Israeli forces in the western combat zones at the entrances of Silat al-Harithiya and Yammoun, where they unleashed a barrage of bullets and explosive devices, halting the Israeli advance.
Meanwhile, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades confirmed that its fighters had confronted the Israeli forces at multiple fronts in Jenin, engaging in intense firefights with machine guns and pre-planted explosive devices. The confrontations reportedly resulted in direct hits on Israeli soldiers at Al-Nassera Street and the entrances to Silat al-Harithiya and Yamun.
Since October 7, 2023, the West Bank has witnessed a surge in Israeli military raids, widespread arrests, and extensive destruction. In response, Palestinian Resistance forces have been mounting a robust defense using a combination of firearms and explosives to counter the ongoing assaults.
