Early on Saturday, Palestinians resisted yet another series of Israeli raids into Palestinian towns in the occupied West Bank.

Local sources reported confrontations between locals and Israeli occupation forces in the town of Ya'bad to the west of Jenin in the northern West Bank. Occupation forces fired sound bombs and tear gas at locals in the town.

A military checkpoint was also set up in the town, where Israeli forces interrogated those passing through it.

In Tulkarm, Israeli occupation forces raided the city and surrounding areas.

Two Israeli military vehicles raided the city from its southern entrance before heading to the Thanaba suburb.

Meanwhile, Palestinian Resistance fighters from the al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm Brigade fired their automatic weapons at the Israeli vehicles that arrived in the suburb.

The vehicles patrolled the area before withdrawing. No arrests were reported by local media during the incident.
