Three Palestinians were martyred during an Israeli occupation forces raid on the Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern West Bank, where intense confrontations erupted after IOF forces aggressively invaded the area surrounding the camp, as reported by Al Mayadeen's correspondent.

Our correspondent detailed that the occupation forces launched an airstrike on the Qaqoun Association area near the Tulkarm camp, resulting in injuries to several Palestinians. The bombardment has obstructed ambulances from reaching the wounded, exacerbating the humanitarian crisis in what could be considered a crime against humanity.

Moreover, sources in the West Bank informed Al Mayadeen that the Israeli occupation forces stormed the vicinity of Tulkarm Government Hospital, established a blockade at its main entrance, and deployed bulldozers to destroy roads and infrastructure during the raid.

Our correspondent also reported that new Israeli reinforcements had arrived at the Tulkarm camp, with the military operation continuing for over 8 hours, intensifying the oppression and suffering of the Palestinian residents.

Israeli strike fails to hit targeted Resistance fighters

Israeli media reported earlier in the morning that an Israeli aircraft also targeted a group of Resistance fighters but missed its intended target.

Meanwhile, reports confirmed that the fighters successfully detonated an IED in an Israeli military bulldozer, causing damage to the vehicle.

Local sources reported that a Palestinian youth was wounded by Israeli gunfire in Tulkarm.

Seven Israeli military vehicles stormed the city from the western side, advancing through multiple neighborhoods, particularly concentrating on the western and eastern sectors.

The convoy eventually took up positions around key locations, including the Al-Isra Specialized Hospital, the Thabet Thabet Governmental Hospital, and the area adjacent to the District Coordination Office near the Tulkarm camp.

Heavy gunfire and reconnaissance aircraft were heard over the city and its camps.

It is worth noting that al-Qassam brigades as well as al-Quds brigades and al-Aqsa brigades are all involved in the resistance operations taking place in Tulkarm as Palestinians attempt to repel invading Israeli forces.

In turn, the Israeli occupation acknowledged that a soldier was injured during the raid on Tulkarm and its camp in northwest West Bank.

Detention campaigns are part of the West Bank raids

Regarding Israeli attacks in the West Bank, the occupation forces carried out a series of raids on the cities of Ramallah and Al-Bireh in central West Bank, as well as on Nablus. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades - Nablus managed to target the invading forces in Nablus with a heavy barrage of bullets and explosive devices.

The Palestinian Prisoners' Society and the Palestinian Authority's Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees announced in a joint statement that the occupation forces detained at least 25 people from the West Bank on Wednesday and Thursday, including two women, a child, and formerly liberated detainees.

According to the joint statement, the number of detentions since October 7, 2023, has risen to more than 10,200 Palestinians from the West Bank and al-Quds. This figure includes those detained from their homes, at checkpoints, those who were forced to surrender under pressure, and those taken as human shields and hostages.

⭕ Several young men were abducted in the dead of night during a raid by zionist terrorists across cities in the West Bank.

Among the abductees;
