Seven Israeli soldiers were injured in a Resistance operation near the settlement of "Homesh" in the northern occupied West Bank, Israeli news website Ynet reported.

Resistance fighters opened fire on a group of Israeli soldiers and targeted them with improvised explosive devices, injuring at least seven, who were transferred to the "Beilinson" hospital in 48' occupied territories via an evacuation helicopter. 

Later, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad's al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade announced its responsibility for the well-executed attack.

According to reports, Palestinian Resistance fighters opened fire on an Israeli military site near "Homesh" luring a force that was investigating the incident to Silat al-Dahr town, which is located on the road that connects Jenin to "Homesh". When the force arrived at the previously designated area, an explosive device was detonated by the Resistance fighters, causing casualties among occupation troops. 

Israeli media outlets highlighted the "pre-planned" operation as "extremely dangerous", pointing to the fact that those who carried out the operation remain at large.

Palestinian sources also revealed that Palestinian Resistance fighters attacked two military points and an illegal settlement in the West Bank just after the operation was conducted in "Homesh".

Hamas, PFLP commend the heroic operation

The Islamic Resistance Movement - Hamas put out a statement commending the "heroic Homesh operation," affirming that the event is a "natural response to Israeli massacres in Gaza and the West Bank," as well as Israeli threats against al-Aqsa Mosque.

"We call on all free people and heroes of our nation to carry on this path of vengeance in response to the occupation's crimes," the movement stated.

On its part, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP) confirmed that the Palestinian Resistance has planned "more operations that will surprise the enemy."

The Front said that the operation was "expected" and came in the context of the Palestinian people's right to resist occupation. The PFLP also highlighted the fact that the "Homesh" operation in the West Bank comes in response to the Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip, which has lasted for more than 150 days.

"This top-tier and well-planned operation was well studied and prepared, and it thwarted the bets of Israeli Security Minister, Yoav Gallant, who aimed to deescalate [the situation] in the West Bank."

"The operation sent a message to the occupation and settlers, stating that Israeli sites and settlements will remain a legitimate target for the Resistance's strikes until the last Israeli soldier is defeated in occupied territories, and it confirmed the unity of the Resistance on all fighting fronts," the statement stressed.

Multiple operations follow "Homesh" ambush

Resistance fighters opened fire toward the settler road near the village of Zawata northwest of Nablus in the West Bank, targeted a military checkpoint in Surra to the southwest of Nablus, engaged in an armed confrontation with occupation soldiers at the Salem checkpoint, west of Jenin, opened fire on the Huwara checkpoint to the south of Nablus, attacked the Jabal Jarzin military site, and attacked the Beit Furik military checkpoint to the east of Nablus, according to local sources.

Palestinian sources confirmed that Resistance fighters attacked all military checkpoints surrounding the city of Nablus in less than an hour.

In the south of Qalqilya, near the "separation wall", which separates the occupied West Bank and 48' occupied territories, Resistance fighters attacked the military point near the town of al-Birayn.

Near Tulkarm, shots were fired toward an Israeli military site near the "Avnei Hefetz" illegal settlement from a speeding car.

Local sources confirmed 10 operations were carried out against Israeli occupation military sites and checkpoints across the West Bank in two hours.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced in a statement that its fighters and brigades must mobilize in all governorates of the West Bank. The group maintains a large presence in the territory, including multiple brigades in the governorate of Tulkarm alone.

On the other hand, Israeli settlers attacked the homes of Palestinians in Burqah to the east of Ramallah. 

These operations carried out by Palestinian Resistance in the West Bank come amid growing Israeli concerns about a highly possible escalation during the month of Ramadan, which will see multiple operations and confrontations occur in occupied territories, as the war on the Gaza Strip persists and restrictions on Muslim worshippers and Palestinians in the West Bank continue. Earlier, the Israeli Minister of Security, Yoav Gallant, warned of the eruption of the West Bank during the blessed month, amidst calls to participate in the "Ramadan Flood" in solidarity with the Gaza Strip.
