The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades in the West Bank reported intense confrontations with Israeli occupation forces invading the Tulkarm refugee camp, the Old City, and the al-Ain camp in Nablus. The Resistance engaged the invading IOF troops using heavy gunfire and explosive devices.
In multiple statements, the Brigades confirmed that several pre-prepared explosive devices were detonated against Israeli occupation soldiers and vehicles in the Old City of Nablus and Tulkarm, resulting in direct injuries among them.
Moreover, a military bulldozer was destroyed by a powerful explosive device in the Al-Hamam neighborhood of Tulkarm, rendering it inoperable.

This comes after Israeli occupation forces also stormed Tulkarm early Tuesday morning, with reports from the Palestinian news agency, WAFA, indicating the entry of eight military vehicles along with two heavy bulldozers. The forces focused on eastern neighborhoods, particularly around the government hospital and local infrastructure.
The bulldozers commenced demolition activities, severely damaging the main street in the area. Intense confrontations erupted as Israeli occupation forces attempted to clear the area, with gunfire reported throughout the region.
IOF detained 11,000+ Palestinians from West Bank since Oct 7
The Israeli occupation forces detained 45 Palestinians from the occupied West Bank in the past 24 hours after launching an extensive arrest campaign across its towns and cities.
In a joint statement, the Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) and the Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Commission revealed that over 11,000 Palestinians have been detained since the Israeli genocidal war on Gaza was initiated on October 7, 2023.
The report also emphasized the detention of many Palestinian workers and thousands from Gaza, with many individuals still missing due to ongoing enforced disappearances.
The organizations pointed out that these ongoing detention campaigns have been marked by incidents of extrajudicial killings, gunfire opened on individuals before arrests, severe physical abuse, and intense field interrogations. The IOF also unleashed police dogs against detainees or used them as human shields and hostages during the arrest campaigns.
Extensive damage to homes, as well as the seizure of property, vehicles, money, gold, and electronic devices, has been reported, along with the demolition and destruction of homes belonging to detainees.
These detentions are part of a wider military campaign against the Palestinian population. The data concerning these detentions encompass both individuals currently detained and those released later, highlighting the scale and consequences of the ongoing crackdown.
