On Sunday, Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the West Bank confirmed that IOF withdrew from the city of Nablus after an Israeli covert special unit was exposed during its operation.
Field sources in the West Bank reported that Resistance fighters from the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades successfully destroyed a vehicle used by the Israeli special forces during their infiltration into the center of Nablus.
The Resistance group announced that its fighters engaged in intense confrontations with machine guns and explosive devices against a special Israeli force that had infiltrated the Old City of Nablus.

Since October 7, 2023, alongside its war on the Gaza Strip, the Israeli occupation army and settlers have intensified their attacks on the occupied West Bank. These aggressions have resulted in the martyrdom of at least 716 Palestinians, over 5,500 injuries, and the arrest of more than 10,800 people, according to official Palestinian institutions.
The Israeli occupation is waging a devastating war in Gaza with full US support, leading to over 136,000 Palestinian casualties, including a significant number of children and women. Additionally, more than 10,000 people are missing, while the region suffers from massive destruction and an ongoing siege.
