Israeli occupation forces launched a series of raids and incursions across the occupied West Bank early Wednesday morning, detaining several Palestinian citizens and leading to confrontations in several areas.

The occupation forces stormed the Balata refugee camp and the Old City in Nablus, where violent confrontations erupted before they eventually withdrew under the Palestinian Resistance's heavy gunfire.

The raids and incursions were concentrated in various governorates across the West Bank, involving the storming and searching of dozens of homes, ransacking their contents, and subjecting residents to field interrogations after detaining them for hours.

The Israeli occupation forces also detained a woman after raiding her home in the village of Baqat al-Hatab, east of Qalqilya.

Additionally, heavily armed Israeli military vehicles stormed Beit Qad and Faqqua near Jenin, stationing across the entrances to both villages and along the connecting roads.
