The Israeli occupation forces have acknowledged the injury of an officer and three Israeli soldiers after they were targeted by a roadside IED during their incursion into a neighborhood in the city of Nablus yesterday around midnight.

"The Palestinian resistance is strongly present in various cities and refugee camps across the West Bank" Abdul Latif Al-Qanua, the spokesperson for the Hamas movement commented, highlighting the Resistance's capacity to surprise the occupation regime and inflict harm on its soldiers and settlers.

"Nablus, along with all the cities in the West Bank, will remain a robust monolith shattering Israeli incursions, proving each time that it is resilient and unyielding."

An Improvised explosive device (IED) was detonated next to a passing Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) vehicle, at exactly 11:04 PM, as it raided the Palestinian city of Nablus, in Occupied Palestine's West Bank, with the aim of storming Qabr Yusuf.

According to Al Mayadeen's correspondent, the Palestinian Resistance targeted the IOF, and the explosion resulted in a number of casualties, who were evacuated by Israeli ambulances with air support from the IOF.

In turn, the Al-Quds Brigades issued a statement in which they claimed responsibility for the operation saying, "We were able to carry out a precise ambush on an occupation ground force in the vicinity of Qabr Yusuf, by detonating a number of explosive devices and then neutralizing the force with volley fire," which resulted in casualties.

Moreover, scenes from the location of the explosion were circulated on social media and showed a large cloud of white smoke towering above Nablus.
