This comes as the IOF surrounded and sieged the al-Israa and al-Zakat Hospitals in Tulkarm. Occupation forces also launched smoke bombs on the entrance of the Nur Shams camp, while pushing into the Tulkarm camp with military reinforcement.
Meanwhile, the Israel Hayom newspaper reported that Israeli settlers were ordered to stay home and keep their windows and doors locked following the discovery of a breach in the Avnei Hefetz settlement fence. The IOF launched combing operations after being called to the site.

West Bank Resistance showing 'bolder, more sophisticated' attacks: NYT
Confrontations have escalated in the occupied West Bank, with Palestinian Resistance fighters launching "bolder and more sophisticated" attacks amid increased Israeli military raids in the area, The New York Times reported on Monday.
This comes after the Israeli military recently ended a major 10-day aggression on the West Bank that targeted the governorates of Tulkarm, Jenin, and Tubas, killing 39 Palestinians and injuring approximately 150 others. The offensive was subsequently met by the Palestinian Resistance with Operation Terror of the Camps.
The report cited the bombing operation in Tel Aviv, claimed by both Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), as well as the shooting near the Tarqumiyah checkpoint in al-Khalil, which resulted in the killing of three Israeli police officers. Additionally, it pointed to the recent shooting at the Allenby Bridge crossing, known on the Palestinian side as the Karameh Border Crossing, between Jordan and the occupied West Bank, which killed three Israeli security personnel.
According to the newspaper, citing analysts, the latest operations constitute "the most complex sequence of attacks relating to the volatile West Bank in years."
The analysts also indicated that the attacks suggest the Palestinian groups have developed new technical, logistical, and organizational capabilities, despite intense Israeli efforts to contain them.
Touching on the matter, Ibrahim Dalalsha, the director of the Horizon Center, a research group based in Ramallah, said that "if you compare what’s been happening in recent weeks to what was happening over the past decade, you can see a more organized effort to carry out attacks."
