The Israeli occupation forces conducted coordinated raids in various cities and towns in the West Bank, including Jenin, Ariha, and the Dheisheh camp in Beit Lahm, as well as towns to the north and west of Ramallah.

The IOF raided the city of Jenin with over fifty military vehicles and positioned snipers on the rooftops of several buildings during a significant raid on the city and its camp.

Local Palestinian media reported that the occupation forces persistently demolished infrastructure and property. Occupation bulldozers were observed destroying infrastructure that had not been targeted in previous raids.

Multiple reports and a video showed the IOF intercepting an ambulance close to al-Amal Hospital in Jenin and forcing its crew to allow its complete search.

In response, sources confirmed to Al Mayadeen that Resistance fighters employed high-explosive devices (IEDs) to target occupation vehicles during the ongoing raid on the city of Jenin and the vicinity of the camp. Local media reported ongoing confrontations between the Resistance and occupation forces in the city, persisting until the forces withdrew hours later.

Moreover, it was announced that a military vehicle belonging to the occupation forces that stormed the Al-Damj neighborhood was damaged after being targeted with a high-explosive device. The occupation forces also stormed the town of Silat al-Harithiya from the Yamoun side, northwest of the city of Jenin.

Simultaneously, local Palestinian media also reported the outbreak of violent confrontations between Palestinian youth and the occupation forces in Aqabat Jabr camp, southwest of the city of Ariha.

In Beit Lahm, confrontations broke out between Palestinian youth and the occupation forces that stormed the Dheisheh camp. Palestinian media reported that the occupation forces arrested some Palestinian workers from the Gaza Strip after storming the village of Wadi al-Nis, southeast of the city.

The raids in the West Bank also made their way toward Jalazoun camp, north of Ramallah, as reported by several media outlets which further noted that violent confrontations broke out between the Resistance fighters and the occupation forces during their storming of the camp north of Ramallah and al-Bireh Governorate.

In occupied al-Quds, the occupation forces, supported by several vehicles, stormed the Shuafat camp, north of the city.

On a similar but different note, Palestinian sources also told Al Mayadeen that the occupation forces "arrested the young woman, Hana Ibrahim Atta, sister of the martyr Baraa Atta," after storming her family’s home in the town of Deir Abu Mishal, northwest of Ramallah.

Earlier today, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the death of five Palestinian martyrs today in the West Bank, shot by the Israeli occupation. 

The Ministry reported that the two young men, Mohammad Saadi al-Faroukh (22 years old) and Anas Ismail al-Faroukh (23 years old), were shot by the occupation forces in the Ras Al-Aroud area of Sa’ir. Mohammad was hit in the head and Anas in the chest.

They were promptly transferred to Al-Ahli Hospital in Al-Khalil and initially reported to be in serious condition. Unfortunately, their condition deteriorated, and they succumbed to their wounds. 

That said, the death toll of West Bank citizens since the beginning of this year has now reached 467, including 259 individuals who lost their lives due to the occupation's aggression against the Gaza Strip, starting from the seventh of last October.
