The al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Battalion announced that its fighters rained heavy bullets on the settlement of Shaked on Saturday, before returning to their bases safely.
The Nablus Battalion of the Brigades was also able to confront the occupation forces during the raid of al-Ain camp using heavy bullets and explosive devices.
This comes as clashes erupted between Palestinians and Israeli settler gangs terrorizing the village of Beit Furik in Nablus, after at least 30 settlers stormed the area and set fire to a number of residential buildings and vehicles. This came after the Nablus Battalion and the al-Aqsa Brigades carried out operations on the village's military checkpoint on Friday.
The Palestinian Presidency condemned the settler attack on the homes of Palestinians in the West Bank town of Beit Furik, with its spokesperson, Nabil Abu Rudeineh, denouncing the escalation of settler terrorism against the Palestinian people and land.
The statement issued by the spokesperson further indicated that the violence on the West Bank comes as the ongoing genocide in the Gaza Strip continues, along with the aggression on the West Bank refugee camps, and called for an international stance to stop the aggression on Gaza first.
"It is not enough to rely on policies of condemnation and denunciation, which have become ineffective, in order to prevent the destruction of the region due to this Israeli criminality."
Abu Rudeineh held the United States fully responsible for "Israel's" continued defiance of international legitimacy, due to its financial, military, and political support. He reiterated the Palestinian people's steadfastness in holding on to their land, rights, and holy sites, stressing that the "ongoing Israeli terrorism by the occupation army and settlers, alongside US support, will not bring security or stability to the region."
13 Resistance operations in the past hours
Resistance operations in the occupied West Bank persisted over the past hours, with 13 documented operations targeting Israeli occupation forces and settlers.
According to the Palestinian Information Center, these operations included shootings, armed confrontations, detonating explosive devices, hurling Molotov cocktails, confrontations, and stone-throwing at eight locations. Additionally, they involved burning and smashing a settler's vehicle that had entered the city and repelling an IOF raid.
Israeli occupation forces stormed the city of Nablus in the occupied West Bank late Friday night, firing flares over its old city.
During the raid, the Israeli occupation forces stormed a house in the old city. Local sources reported to the Palestinian Information Center that the IOF were targeted with a locally manufactured explosive device and heavy gunfire near the al-Ain refugee camp, west of Nablus.
In turn, the Al-Quds Brigades - Nablus Battalion announced that, alongside local fighters, they had engaged the Israeli occupation forces during their incursion into the al-Ain camp, releasing heavy gunfire and explosive devices.
Israeli occupation forces had also stormed the village of Burqa, northwest of Nablus, detaining a family inside their home. In parallel, the IOF raided the al-Arroub refugee camp, north of al-Khalil.
In al-Quds, the youth set a settler’s car ablaze after he entered the town of Abu Dis, east of the city, prompting confrontations with Israeli occupation forces who stormed the area.
In Jenin, Resistance fighters targeted Israeli occupation forces with explosive devices during a raid on the town of Rummana, sparking confrontations in the nearby town of Ya’bad. Meanwhile, the town of al-Khader in Beit Lahm witnessed confrontations between youths and Israeli occupation forces that had earlier raided the city.
