The Palestinian Resistance factions engage in fierce, intensified confrontations with Israeli occupation forces raiding several towns and cities in the occupied West Bank on Wednesday afternoon.
Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Tulkarm, in particular, announced that its fighters continue to engage in fierce confrontations with invading occupation forces in the Nur Shams refugee camp to the east of Tulkarm city in the occupied West Bank.
The Tulkarm governorate is positioned at the western periphery of the occupied territory, meaning that it is strategically close to a number of central occupied cities in '48 occupied territories, including "Netanya".
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm Brigade also announced that its fighters, armed with assault rifles and locally produced explosive devices, are confronting occupation forces.
On Wednesday evening, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine's (PFLP) Abu Ali Moustapha Brigades in the West Bank also announced that its fighters were confronting occupation forces in Nur Shams.
Israeli occupation forces relaunched an incursion into the city of Tulkarm and the nearby Nur Shams refugee camp, after withdrawing from the governorate's residential areas earlier on Wednesday.

It is worth noting that refugee camps in the governorate and the city of Tulkarm come under near-daily raids, in which occupation forces arbitrarily detain Palestinians and fire live ammunition at residents. Occupation forces have also increasingly deployed attack drones in Tulkarm and other cities, conducting strikes on locals.
Large reinforcements were sent into the western entrance of the city on Wednesday, as the Israeli political and military command continues to attempt to subdue Palestinian acts of resistance and support for their compatriots in the Gaza Strip.
A young man and a girl were wounded by Israeli occupation forces gunfire in Nur Shams, and three women were injured after suffering shrapnel injuries, The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that occupation forces continue to prevent ambulances from entering the camp to attend to two wounded individuals.
Israeli occupation forces also attempted to silence journalists covering the unraveling developments by directly targeting them.
To the northeast, in the governorate of Tubas, a Palestinian youth was wounded and another was detained during the Israeli forces' invasion of the Wadi al-Far'a refugee camp, south of the city of Tubas.
