Martyr Moaath Zahran was killed near the camp while Matryr Abdul-Rahman Bani Awda fell in the town of Tammun, both of which are located near the town of Tubas. Three others were wounded after Israeli occupation forces raided towns and camps in the West Bank.

Sources also told Al Mayadeen that occupation forces assaulted the siblings of martyr Karem Bani Awda and interrogated members of his family in Tammun.

As for the reported injuries, the occupation shot and wounded three Palestinians who confronted a raiding Israeli force in the Dheisheh refugee camp in Beit Lahm in the occupied West Bank.

The IOF also raided the homes of several Palestinians in the camp, detaining Ahmad Jalal Issa and Marcel Rami Mosleh.

Near the city of Qlaqilya, which is located on the easternmost point of the West Bank, Israeli forces raided the Kfar Saba neighborhood, while an infantry force raided the town of Beit Furik to the west of Nablus.

IOF brutalize the West Bank

Earlier on Tuesday, the Israeli occupation forces conducted coordinated raids in various cities and towns in the West Bank, including Jenin, Areeha, and the Dheisheh camp in Beit Lahm, as well as towns to the north and west of Ramallah.

The IOF raided the city of Jenin with over 50 military vehicles and positioned snipers on the rooftops of several buildings during an hours-long raid on the city and its camp.

Local Palestinian media reported that occupation forces demolished infrastructure and property. Occupation bulldozers were observed destroying infrastructure that had not been targeted in previous raids.

In response, sources confirmed to Al Mayadeen that Resistance fighters employed improvised explosive devices (IEDs) to target occupation vehicles during the ongoing raid on the city of Jenin and the refugee camp. Local media reported confrontations between the Resistance and occupation forces in the city, persisting until the forces withdrew hours later.

The Israeli occupation has intensified its oppressive measures in the West Bank following Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7. Its aggression against Palestinians, which encompassed near-daily raids and executions, persisted through the 7-day truce in Gaza. The occupation continues to oppress Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, hoping that it would suppress any voices or actions of solidarity with thousands killed by occupation bombs in the Gaza Strip.
