In a separate context, Palestinian youths confronted Israeli occupation forces at the "Beit El" military checkpoint, north of Ramallah, leading to the closure of the checkpoint.

Local Palestinian sources reported that five Palestinian youths were injured by Israeli gunfire during the confrontations, including serious injuries.

In Beit Ummar north of al-Khalil, heavy confrontations erupted between Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces.

On its part, the Lions' Den Resistance group said Operation Al-Aqsa Flood is the grand liberation battle for all Palestinians, pointing to the necessity of Palestinian fighters to transition from the defense phase to the offensive in the West Bank.

The group also called on Resistance fighters in the West Bank to carry out shooting operations against the occupation at 7:00 PM on Monday, "everywhere and at the same time."

In the West Bank, the number of martyrs has risen to 16 after Israeli occupation forces killed 28-year-old Ahmad Khaled Ibrahim Abu Turki in al-Khalil.

Ignite the front lines

Palestinian calls were made on Monday to escalate the confrontation with the occupation and its settlers and to ignite the front lines in support of the Resistance and in response to the occupation's aggression on Gaza, especially the massacres in the al-Shati and Jabaliya camps earlier today.

The calls, launched by the Rebellious Youth group in the West Bank, emphasized the importance of confronting settler attacks and preventing them from moving safely in the streets.

Going strong

Confrontations erupted between the Israeli occupation forces and Palestinian Resistance fighters in 6 Gaza Envelope settlements, including "Sderot", as Operation Al-Aqsa Flood continues for the third consecutive day, Al Mayadeen's correspondent reported.

Despite the ongoing distress calls made by settlers to their military to repel the attacks, Resistance forces have maintained a presence in a significant number of sensitive settlements for over 50 hours now.

Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, initiated by the Palestinian Resistance on Saturday morning in response to years-long Israeli occupation and crimes against Palestinians, has resulted so far in between 800-1,000 Israeli deaths at least.

Fallen martyrs

In the latest report, the Palestinian Health Ministry said the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza has resulted in over 560 Palestinian martyrs.

This number is preliminary as many Palestinians remain unaccounted for under the rubble of collapsed residential buildings due to Israeli brutal airstrikes. Additionally, the Ministry stated that 2,900 individuals have been injured.
