The Palestinian Islamic Jihad's (PIJ) al-Quds Brigades - Tubas Brigade released a statement near Wednesday dawn, saying that its fighters led fierce confrontations with the invading Israeli forces. 

Emphasizing that their operations come in line with the battle of Al-Aqsa Flood, the Tubas Brigade said that its fighters confronted the Israeli forces on several axes in the city, using assault rifles and locally produced IEDs.
