Palestinian Resistance forces in the occupied West Bank have continued to confront Israeli forces amid a second day of intense confrontations. Israeli troops, who have besieged homes and assaulted Palestinians during their incursions into towns, are facing fierce resistance from local factions.

The al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Battalion announced that its fighters in the Burqin unit engaged in fierce battles with Israeli forces near a besieged house. The group reported using heavy gunfire and explosives against Israeli troops and vehicles, claiming confirmed hits. Similarly, the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade - Jenin Battalion stated that its fighters were involved in intense firefights with Israeli forces near the besieged house in the town of Burqin, west of Jenin.

Local media reported that Resistance fighters detonated an explosive device targeting an Israeli bulldozer in Jenin while engaging in combat with Israeli forces. According to witnesses, special forces infiltrated the area, surrounded a house, and used loudspeakers to order its occupants to evacuate. Israeli drones also launched several missiles at the site.

Israeli forces deployed reinforcements, including a military bulldozer, and began demolishing parts of the house. Burqin Mayor Hassan Sobh accused Israeli forces of using women as human shields and forcing families out of the besieged residence before initiating the demolition.

Despite these measures, resistance fighters inside the house reportedly refused to surrender, continuing to fire at Israeli forces. An Israeli drone also opened fire in the Dammaj neighborhood of Jenin refugee camp, intensifying the violence.

Intensifying violence

In other areas, Israeli forces carried out raids in multiple towns across the West Bank. Troops stormed Kafr Qalil near Nablus, the village of Mazraa near Ramallah, and the town of Turmus Ayya, north of Ramallah. The village of Qarawat Bani Zeid in northwestern Ramallah also witnessed incursions.

Meanwhile, in the southern West Bank, settlers attacked residents in Masafer Yatta, south of al-Khalil. According to reports, dozens of settlers assaulted Palestinians in Khirbet Aqwewis, injuring five people and spraying pepper gas, leading to further injuries and hospitalizations. The attack is part of an escalating pattern of settler violence in the region, where residents face daily threats aimed at forcibly displacing them to enable settlement expansion.

Moreover, in a new crime added to its record, Israeli forces assassinated a Palestinian man while he was driving his car with his wife and children in the city of Jenin, in the northern West Bank.

The assassination was documented in a video recorded by the martyr's son from inside the car, which has since circulated widely on social media. Another video filmed by activists shows the car veering off its path and crashing into a sidewalk after the driver was shot.

Bashir Mtahen, Director of Public Relations at the Jenin Municipality, told Anadolu Agency that the victim was identified as Ahmad Shayeb, a resident of Burqin town in Jenin Governorate. "He was returning from kindergarten with his wife and three children," Mtahen stated.

According to Motahen, "The martyr was at the outskirts of Jenin refugee camp, heading towards the city's commercial hub when a sniper positioned at a military outpost in the area opened fire at him."
