The Palestinian Resistance confronted Israeli occupation forces conducting multiple incursions with large military reinforcements across Jenin and Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

In Jenin, it was reported that four Palestinians, including a 14-year-old, were killed tonight during the confrontations in Jenin, while 21 were wounded by Israeli occupation gunfire.

Al Mayadeen's correspondent in occupied Palestine highlighted that 100 Palestinians were killed by Israeli gunfire in the West Bank since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood after a youth was also killed in Tulkarm, amid ongoing confrontations across multiple West Bank neighborhoods and cities.

Media activist Asri Fayyad told Al Mayadeen that more than 25 Israeli occupation vehicles participated in the storming of Jenin and withdrew after just two hours

According to Al-Quds Brigades -Jenin Brigade, Resistance fighters in Jenin camp have prepared ahead for this anticipated incursion, adding that the Brigade, since the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, has been confronting the IOF along the al-Hadaf front.

Moreover, the Brigade's statement confirmed that the Resistance snipers have successfully targeted an Israeli soldier at the al-Faroun roundabout.

It stated that the Brigade had successfully detected the incoming IOF convoy allowing them to have successfully “damaged and disabled a number of vehicles." The statement also noted that it was observed that at least four IOF soldiers were confirmed wounded during confrontations at al-Hadaf front."

The Brigade also underscored that several of the ambushes were prepared beforehand as the Jenin camp has been anticipating this incursion for some time now. As a result of this preparation, several IOF soldiers and vehicles fell into the ambushes amid heavy confrontations with Resistance fighters.

On its part, Al-Qassam Brigades in Jenin announced their participation in the then-ongoing confrontations with the occupation forces, saying, "Our fighters alongside the Resistance factions are engaged in violent confrontations with the [Israeli] occupation forces that are storming Jenin now."

In turn, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades announced that they have confronted the IOF in the vicinity of the Ibn Sina Hospital near the Jenin camp, noting that they have been able to confirm direct hits using volleys of bullets and a number of explosive devices.

Al-Quds Brigades confirmed that the IOF failed to infiltrate the camp despite the heavily militarized convoy that was sent for this mission.

It was also reported that the Israeli occupation forces have targeted Jenin with two missiles from warplanes while their armored bulldozers were blocking the entrance to the camp amid a complete electricity blackout.

And given the IOF's refusal to allow ambulances to reach the targeted locations, residents of Jenin scrambled to transport the wounded from the bombing's location toward the nearest hospital.

In a conclusive statement regarding the event, Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Brigade noted that "the enemy's use of warplanes during direct confrontations with our fighters is clear evidence of the cowardice of its soldiers," adding that "the occupation army is too cowardly to storm the cities of the northern West Bank using infantry squads and is unable to confront our fighters, one on one."

The Brigade saluted the resilient people of Gaza, "who with their blood inscribe the most heroic epics in the face of the tyranny and absolute evil of the so-called Israel."

The statement revealed that the Jenin Brigade fighters carried out a significant operation and introduced new weapons in the confrontations with the Israeli occupation, confirming injuries among the raiding forces.

Elsewhere, the Jenin Brigade emphasized its readiness to confront the occupation at any time and under any circumstances, reaffirming its commitment to continue their acts of resistance as part of Operation Al-Aqsa Mosque.

If the IOF cannot storm the West Bank, asked the Jenin Brigades, "how can the occupation army storm Gaza by land? If they land infantry in Jenin, Nablus, Tulkarm, or Tubas, they will be wounded and killed. How can they storm Gaza by land? By God, they are the most cowardly and weaker than doing that."

Lion's Den Resistance group urges mobilization for Gaza

In Nablus, the Lions' Den Resistance group released a statement calling on the people of Nablus and the West Bank "to take to the streets, light up tires, and confront the IOF and Israeli settlers."

At the core of the message was the idea that "no one will be able to separate us from our people slaughtered in Gaza, and life will not return to normal in the West Bank before it returns to normal in Gaza first."

The Lions' Den underscored that life in the West Bank cannot return to normal after all that has happened in Gaza, stressing that there isn't even a "semblance of normalcy" as long as the people in the Strip cannot have that too.

"Our bleeding blood in Gaza and the West Bank is more precious, nobler, purer, more honorable, and greater than some economic wheel or some commercial shops," the Lions' Den statement highlighted.

The group urged West Bank residents to halt their normal lives and mobilize en masse to "face of the horrors of the massacres committed by the occupation against" the people of Palestine.

The statement also included a wide-range condemnation, saying, "The zionist war council is permanently convened with strong and explicit American presence, while Arab councils are filled with timid condemnation, and their strongest decisions are to reject the displacement of the Palestinian people," before reaffirming that "what is happening now in Gaza will extend to the West Bank and will later extend to Arabs wherever they are."

To conclude, the group called on all Arabs and Palestinians to mobilize, reaffirming that the current circumstances in occupied Palestine "require all of us to stand united to defend our existence."
