The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) were forced to withdraw from the Balata camp, according to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, after failing to arrest Resistance fighters.

Two young men from the camp were martyred by IOF fire.

Confrontations between Palestinians and the IOF erupted following the latter's incursion into the Balata camp east of Nablus, in the West Bank.

Following the incursion, the Al-Quds Brigades declared that their fighters were engaged in "confrontations with a special Zionist force, which had broken into the Balata camp." The Resistance's fighters targeted the IOF special ops force with heavy fire. 

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Ramallah further confirmed that a number of Palestinians were seriously injured during the confrontations. The information was later corroborated by the Palestinian Red Cresent which announced that four critically injured people were transferred to the hospital.
