Six Palestinians were injured by Israeli occupation fire, Tuesday morning, as they confronted the IOF raiding al-Askar camp, east of Nablus, in the northern West Bank, in an attempt to protect its residents and push back the occupation's forces.

A special force, followed by heavy reinforcements, from the occupation army, stormed the eastern area of the city of Nablus, as well as the Askar camp, from several fronts, according to what security and local sources reported to the Palestinian news agency, Wafa.

The sources added that confrontations broke out between Israeli forces and local youth, which led to a Palestinian being injured by live bullets in the back, while 5 others were injured in different parts of their bodies.

It has been also recorded that the IOF prevented ambulances from reaching the wounded and transported them to hospitals. This crime against humanity has been a recurring one in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip as the IOF considers it a routine procedure.

The sources also indicated that the occupation forces arrested a Palestinian resident of Nablus, Ahmed Omar Banat.

In addition, Israeli forces also stormed Balata camp, also located east of the city of Nablus, where the IOF bulldozed streets and destroyed some infrastructure, continuing its oppressive practices.

In Tulkarm camp, the Resistance's Rapid Response Unit engaged in confrontations with the IOF using both assault weapons and explosives. Significantly, the Resistance successfully bombed a military D9 bulldozer using heavy explosives.

The Israeli military level warns: The West Bank is on the verge of explosion

As the pace of confrontations between the Resistance fighters and the Israeli occupation escalated in the West Bank, the Israeli media indicated that personnel at the military level of the occupation were warning that "the West Bank is on the verge of explosion."

Earlier, Israeli media quoted the Occupation Security Minister, Yoav Galant, as saying that the West Bank must be "calm" so that "the army can complete its mission in the Gaza Strip."

Gallant's words reflect Israeli fear of an increase in the intensity of the confrontation in the West Bank, as this forces the Israeli "army" to allocate more forces to the West Bank, while it suffers difficulty during its increasing incursion into Gaza, and is exposed to successive attacks by the Islamic resistance in Lebanon in the north.

In this context, Israeli media expressed great fear among the occupation’s security and military institutions about the opening of a third front in the West Bank, in addition to the outbreak of a third intifada there.
