The Israeli occupation forces invaded the West Bank city of Nablus, early Friday morning, only to be met by the local Resistance groups who confronted the occupation forces in defense of the city, its people, and its identity.
The Resistance faced the raiding Israeli occupation forces with gunfire and explosive devices, successfully repelling the aggression by forcing the occupation forces to withdraw from the region.
The military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad movement, al-Quds Brigades - Nablus Brigade, announced that its freedom fighters confronted the incursion into the Old City of Nablus with heavy barrages of bullets.

In turn, the al-Qassam Brigades in Nablus confirmed that its freedom fighters protected the areas of Ein Camp and Balata Camp, engaging IOF forces with live fire and explosive devices.
They revealed that they had successfully managed to detonate several high-explosive devices against the occupation forces, achieving direct hits against them.
In the Habs al-Dam area, the al-Qassam Brigades reported inflicting significant injuries among the ranks of the invading Israeli occupation forces, and challenged "Israel" to disclose the extent of the injuries, noting that "the wounded were evacuated under heavy fire, with extensive use of smoke bombs."
In another statement, the al-Qassam Brigades emphasized their continued "fierce" resistance against the occupation forces in the Old City of Nablus, where they successfully targeted the occupation forces with several explosive devices and a dense hail of bullets, achieving confirmed direct hits.
As the incursion continued for hours, the freedom fighters of multiple brigades engaged in intense confrontations with the invading occupation forces in the Old City, "drenching them with a heavy hail of bullets and explosive devices, achieving direct hits."
Palestinian media reported hearing the screams of Israeli occupation soldiers in the Old City of Nablus after being targeted by explosive devices during the confrontations with the Resistance before they were forced to withdraw from sectors they invaded.
