Illegal Israeli settlers on Tuesday attacked Palestinian property in the Palestinian village of Jalud, south of Nablus, which led to confrontations with Palestinians in the area.

Ghassan Daghlas, the Palestinian official in charge of the settlement file in the northern occupied West Bank, confirmed that under the protection of Israeli occupation forces, the settlers attacked homes in the eastern region of Jalud, prompting confrontations with the village's residents.

In the same context, state-run Palestinian news agency WAFA cited witnesses as saying that illegal Israeli settlers attacked vehicles and homes in the Khirbet Emreha neighborhood in the town of Yabad with stones and blocked the main road that connects the Jenin and Tulkarm governorates.

Earlier today, Israeli occupation forces stormed Nablus and the Nur Shams refugee camp in the occupied West Bank amid heavy confrontations with Palestinian Resistance fighters.

The occupation forces fired tear gas grenades and rubber bullets at the Palestinians during raids which left 39 injuries, as per the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

The IOF also shelled a residential house during the raid on the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm and arrested several Palestinians.

On Monday, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced the martyrdom of Ashraf Mohammad Amin Ibrahim, 37, after succumbing to wounds sustained by Israeli occupation forces' gunfire during their storming of the Jenin refugee camp.
