Al Mayadeen's correspondent in the West Bank said that the Israeli Occupation Forces have deployed sniper units over a number of buildings as they raided the eastern region of Nablus.

The correspondent further confirmed that Palestinian Resistance fighters confronted the IOF as local Palestinian sources reported the presence of settler buses near the Beit Furik checkpoint, also east of the city, in the occupied West Bank.

According to local sources, the IOF covered the settlers' incursion into Qabr Yussef (Joseph's Tomb).

In a brief statement, the Lions' Den Resistance group stated that its groups are responding to the occupation forces' raid on Nablus.

As part of the extended confrontations in Nablus, the Palestinian Resistance detonated a homemade explosive device which, according to Israeli media, injured three soldiers.

In turn, the Lions' Den Resistance group announced that "there are confirmed casualties after an Israeli infantry force was targeted with explosive devices during its storming of the Dahiya area in Nablus."
