On Monday, Israeli occupation forces (IOF) injured several Palestinians during a raid and detention campaign in the occupied West Bank. The Israeli incursion involved confrontations with the occupation forces and a campaign of detentions.
Institutions concerned with prisoners' affairs have reported that the IOF have detained numerous Palestinians from the West Bank. These individuals have been subsequently transferred to occupation security services for interrogation, under the pretext of involvement and participation in resistance activities.
Nablus
A young man sustained injuries from bullets fired during a raid on the village of Tal, southwest of Nablus. According to Palestinian Red Crescent sources, medical teams treated the young man, who was then transported to Rafidia Hospital.

The occupation forces raided several homes, threw threatening leaflets, and arrested 13 Palestinians: Mustafa Samir Silwadi, Amin Nasser Araysha, Osama Mustafa Abed, Abdullah Muwaffaq Helmi, Salem Yassin Asida, Ibrahim Ismail Ramadan, Hussam Hassan Asida, Issam Ibrahim Ramadan, and Mahmoud Saqr Asida, Ahmad Abdel Razek Yamin, Ali Ayoub Abu al-Baraa, Sami Imad Yamin, and Ahmad Ibrahim Ramadan.
The occupation forces raided the Balata Refugee Camp, situated east of Nablus, accompanied by a military bulldozer. Intense confrontations broke out as Palestinian Resistance fighters confronted the occupation forces during their incursion into the camp. That said, the occupation forces managed to arrest three young men before withdrawing from the area.
Tubas
In the Tubas Governorate, the occupation forces conducted a raid on the town of Tammoun, leading to violent confrontations throughout the area.
The occupation forces stormed the town with several patrols, backed by a military bulldozer, leading to confrontations with local youth where one was shot in the arm.
Kamal Bani Audah, the director of the Palestinian Prisoners' Club in Tubas, reported that the occupation forces detained Mahmoud Marwah Suleiman Bsharat, aged 67, after raiding his house, despite being aware of his heart condition.
Palestinian Resistance fighters confronted the occupation forces at the entrance to the al-Faraa camp and in Wadi al-Faraa, situated south of Tubas. Amid this confrontation, the occupation forces detained Mahmoud Marwah from the al-Asharin area in the town of Tammoun. They raided his house, searched, and vandalized its contents before proceeding with the arrest.
Jenin, Ramallah, and occupied al-Quds
From the Jenin Governorate, the occupation forces detained Ayser Mohammad Nawaf Lahlouh from Arraba.
In a related incident, Israeli forces raided the al-Masyoun neighborhood in the city of Ramallah. They conducted raids on several homes, vandalizing them, and opened fire on local youth. Consequently, one young man sustained shrapnel injuries in the foot.
Mosques in Jenin (west bank) and its camps rang with takbeers in support of Gaza as the IOF launched an unprecedented aerial aggression on Rafah.
