Three Palestinians were martyred on Sunday, including one child, after being shot by Israeli occupation forces amid the ongoing brutal aggression campaign on the occupied West Bank.

14-year-old Palestinian child Louay al-Sufi was rushed to the Areeha Government Hospital after Israelis shot him in the chest while storming the Ain Sultan refugee camp, but he later succumbed to the fatal wound, the Palestinian Red Crescent Society announced.

The Israeli incursion into the camp was met with fierce resistance from several groups.

Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Areeha announced that its Resistance fighters engaged in violent confrontations with the occupation forces attacking Ain Sultan.

Furthermore, another Palestinian youth was injured as a result of the Israeli occupation forces attack, while nine were detained, including children and siblings, from the al-Khalil.

Israeli detentions in occupied West Bank surge

Local Palestinian sources reported that Israeli forces carried out raids in the towns of Beit Ummar and Surif, northwest of al-Khalil, during which they stormed several Palestinian homes.

The sources also indicated that the Israeli occupation forces detained six individuals from the northern Nablus governorate, in addition to 15 workers from the Gaza Strip in "Salfit" near Nablus. The Gaza workers have been unable to return home to the Strip due to the ongoing Israeli war.

The Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs Committee and the Palestinian Prisoners Club revealed earlier that a total of 5,875 Palestinians have been detained since the launch of the Al-Aqsa Flood operation on October 7.

Both organizations affirmed that the occupation continues to carry out systematic detention campaigns in the West Bank, as one of its prominent and consistent policies. These campaigns have escalated unprecedentedly in conjunction with its aggression on the Gaza Strip, both in terms of the crimes committed and the widespread incursions into the homes of the families of detainees, accompanied by extensive acts of sabotage and destruction.

Resistance continues operations

In the Israeli settlement of "Gush Etzion" in the southern city of occupied Al-Quds, Israeli media reported that two Palestinians carried out a shooting operation from a speeding vehicle on an Israeli army unit.

According to Channel 14, the Palestinians managed to reach the entrance of the "Metzad" settlement within the "Gush Etzion" complex, where they conducted the operation.

Two Palestinians were martyred in the exchange of fire with the targeted occupation force.

This comes after a group of Resistance fighters infiltrated the "Adora" Israeli settlement in northwest al-Khalil on Saturday and opened fire on a group of Israeli soldiers after ambushing them.

The Resistance fighters were reportedly martyred, while two Israeli occupation soldiers were wounded as a result.

Israeli media outlets raised questions on the development following the embarrassment suffered by the Israeli occupation's security and military apparatuses on October 7, when Resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip exposed fragile security measures across the separation wall.
