The al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm Brigade announced Sunday that its Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli occupation force with a Ghaith 5 explosive device at the entrance to the town of Deir al-Ghusun, north of Tulkarm Governorate in the occupied West Bank, confirming fatal injuries among the occupation soldiers.
Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces detained eight Palestinian civilians and assaulted them in the occupied city of al-Khalil. They also raided the villages of al-Nabi Saleh northwest of Ramallah and Jalboun east of Jenin.
Security sources told the Palestinian News Agency WAFA that Israeli occupation forces raided Jalboun, set up a military checkpoint at the entrance to the village, and obstructed the movement of citizens after detaining a Palestinian youth, leading to the outbreak of confrontations.
The sources added that the Israeli occupation forces also raided the villages of Beit Qad, Faqqua, Deir Ghazale, Arana, and Arabbuna, carrying out search campaigns and patrolling military vehicles in the streets of the villages, while setting up mobile checkpoints with no arrests reported.
In the same context, Israeli occupation forces set up a checkpoint near the town of Arraba, south of Jenin, where soldiers stopped vehicles, searched them and verified the identities of their passengers.
