Initially, the occupation forces instructed the Israeli settlers to remain indoors. Later, it was reported that the Palestinian Resistance fighter had been martyred during the confrontations.

This comes after al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Al-Khalil confirmed, on March 14, that its Resistance fighters targeted the Israeli "Gush Etzion" settlement north of al-Khalil with machine guns, before withdrawing safely.

Al Mayadeen's sources reported at the time that Palestinian Resistance fighters engaged Israeli occupation forces with a powerful homemade explosive device and opened fire on the raiding forces in the old town of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.
