Five Palestinians were martyred on Sunday morning during Israeli raids in occupied Al-Quds and in several cities and towns in the occupied West Bank.
This comes just one day after Israeli forces killed nine Palestinians across the occupied West Bank; in Jenin, Qalandiya refugee camp, and the town of al-Fawar.
Confrontations erupted when Israeli military units stormed Abu Dis and laid siege to a house, using loudspeakers to demand those inside the encircled house to give themselves up. Following hours of confrontations and refusing to surrender to the occupation forces, Nabil Halabiyeh was Martyred.

Resistance fighters confronted IOF forces
Several homes in Jenin in the al-Marah area and the eastern district were raided by occupation forces, who also deployed snipers on a number of buildings to shoot anyone attempting to resist and disrupt their raid.
Moreover, the IOF stormed the city of Jenin with a large military convoy. Alarm sirens blared in the Jenin refugee camp as the Israeli units advanced towards the area.
Despite the Israeli measures, Resistance fighters defending al-Marah confronted the raiding forces, which resulted in one youth getting wounded by IOF fire.

Meanwhile, Israeli media reported that an IED was detonated against a military bulldozer in Jenin, an operation that was later claimed by the Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade, which announced that the locally-made Al-Tamer bomb was used in the operation. Additionally, an Israeli military vehicle was targeted with a homemade explosive device and disabled in Azzun east of Qalqilya.

In Nablus, Palestinian media reported that Israeli occupation forces came under heavy Resistance fire as they stormed the city. This occurred concurrently with the Israeli forces' storming into the towns of Al-Khalil and Qusra to the south of Nablus, as well as Azzun to the east of Qalqilya, and Husan to the west of Bethlehem.
Local sources said that the IOF arrested liberated prisoner Awni Shakshir from his home in the Rafidia district of Nablus, while it was reported that three Palestinians were injured by Israeli gunfire in the city.
Additionally, the occupation forces detained Iyad Al-Jamal and his father, Tayseer Al-Jamal, from the southern district of Al-Khalil.
The occupation has escalated its violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank following the launching of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7. In fact, the occupation has arrested more than 1,850 Palestinians, most of whom were detained with no charges brought against them.
The arrest campaigns coincide with near-daily raids on cities and towns in the occupied West Bank where Palestinian youth and Resistance fighters bravely confront occupation forces. Occupation forces employed brutal measures in the West Bank in order to limit action in support of Gaza, amid an inhumane aggression on the Strip that has martyred more than 9,500 people, more than half of whom are women and children.
