Israeli occupation forces assassinated former prisoner Raeq Abdel Rahman Bsharat during a raid on the town of Tammun, south of Tubas in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday.

Following the targeted killing, Israeli special forces stormed several homes in the town, conducting searches throughout Palestinian neighborhoods. The occupation's military also deployed additional reinforcements to the area.

Palestinian sources confirmed that Israeli forces seized the body of the martyr, a move frequently condemned for enacting collective punishment against Palestinians.

Arrests, injuries in aftermath of raid

Occupation forces arrested at least eight Palestinians during the incursion, including Murad Abu Haseeb, who was pursued by Israeli forces and captured after being wounded, and Abdullah Mahmoud Bani Odeh, who was also injured in the raid.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, an emergency medical responder was wounded by Israeli live fire while attempting to evacuate one of the injured from Tammun.

Additionally, occupation forces continued bulldozing infrastructure across the town.

Nablus under siege for second day

In Nablus, Israeli occupation forces continued their assault on the city and its Old City district for over 24 hours, bringing in additional military reinforcements through the Huwwara checkpoint.

Troops stormed Diwan al-Yasmina, converting the community gathering space into a makeshift interrogation center. Two young men, Raed Khuraim and Mohammad Khuraim, were arrested during the raid on Harat al-Yasmina.

Palestinian media also reported that Israeli soldiers stormed Hawash School on al-Basha Street after smashing down its doors.

Elsewhere in the occupied West Bank, Israeli forces raided the town of Dura south of al-Khalil and Azzoun, east of Qalqilya, as part of a widening campaign of repression and arrest raids that have intensified in recent days.
