Local sources reported that Israeli occupation forces had set up an ambush on a settler road adjacent to the village and fired live ammunition at a group of children, injuring Zahran in the abdomen. The child was transported to Ramallah Medical Complex, where doctors announced his martyrdom.
The Ministry of Health also reported that a Palestinian youth was critically injured in the neck by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire during an incursion into the city of Tulkarm.
The Israeli occupation forces stormed four cities in the West Bank, including Areeha, Ramallah, Tulkarm, and Salfit, in addition to the villages of Ya'bad, southwest of Jenin, Thanaba, and Anabta near Tulkarm, and the refugee camps of Nur Shams in Tulkarm and Tal Sultan in Areeha.
The Palestinian Resistance confronted the Israeli raids, with the al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm Brigade confirming that its fighters engaged the raiding forces from multiple directions.
With a large number of military vehicles and bulldozers, the occupation forces stormed Nur Shams camp in a military operation that lasted for more than six hours, resulting in significant damage to infrastructure, homes, and vehicles.
The brigades called on the residents of Nur Shams camp to stand up to the Israeli occupation, which seeks to break the will of the people of the Palestinian people with its destruction of homes, livelihoods, and infrastructure.
