In the early morning hours on Sunday, Israeli occupation forces carried out a widespread operation involving raids and arrests across diverse regions of the West Bank, with confrontations unfolding in numerous locations.

A large contingent of Israeli occupation forces raided the city of Qalqilya, bolstered by jeeps and military vehicles, according to local sources. They raided two residences in the al-Qaraan neighborhood and used loudspeakers to force locals to evacuate.

Confrontations broke out between Resistance fighters and occupation forces in Qalqilya.

Additionally, confrontations broke out between groups of young men and the occupation forces, with the latter using live ammunition, rubber-coated bullets, stun grenades, and tear gas.

In Nablus, the occupation forces entered the city and conducted a raid on a telephone shop, inflicting extensive damage. Concurrently, armed confrontations erupted between the Resistance and the occupation forces in the Rafidiya neighborhood of Nablus.

It's important to highlight that the West Bank is experiencing ongoing confrontations, which have intensified since the onset of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. Towns and cities in the West Bank are subjected to frequent raids and extensive arrest operations. Unfortunately, casualties, including martyrs and injuries, continue to mount as civilians confront occupation forces.
