Palestinian youths Nidal Abu Obeid and Iyad Nidal Kanouh were martyred in an Israeli occupation airstrike targeting the Nur Shams refugee camp in Tulkarm, northern occupied West Bank.

Across the West Bank and occupied al-Quds, heavy confrontations ensued as Israeli occupation forces conducted raids and assaults on Palestinian citizens and their homes.

Al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm confirmed that its Resistance fighters confronted the Israeli incursion in the Nur Shams camp on several axes, targeting the raiding forces with gunfire and detonating explosive devices in Israeli military vehicles.

Simultaneously, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Tulkarm said its fighters detonated explosives in invading Israeli occupation forces and engaged in fierce confrontations with them, causing casualties among their ranks.

According to Al Mayadeen's sources in the West Bank, a massive explosion sounded after an Israeli military bulldozer was targeted by the Resistance on al-Sekka Street in Tulkarm.

Israeli occupation forces prevented paramedic crews from transporting the injured and stormed Thabet Thabet Hospital during the incursion, demolishing civilian infrastructure in the camp.

Meanwhile, in Nablus, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades said its Resistance fighters targeted an Israeli military point on "Mount Gerizim" and safely withdrew following the operation. Meanwhile, Israeli occupation forces raided the city and detained several youths.

Additionally, Al Mayadeen's correspondent mentioned that Israeli occupation forces also raided the Jabal al-Tawil area in al-Bireh, as well as Qalqilya, where they were forced to withdraw after facing hours of heavy resistance from Palestinian fighters.

The Israeli Channel 13 reported that the Israeli army assassinated Palestinian fighters in Jenin with a drone strike, while they were allegedly heading to carry out an attack.

Following the assassination, Palestinians took to the streets to express anger, vowing retaliation.

The effects of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on October 7 and the Israeli genocide in Gaza have unsurprisingly extended into the occupied West Bank. Despite the region's longstanding instability following the expansion of illegal settlement, the recent Israeli aggression in Gaza has exacerbated the situation.

With "Israel" conducting military operations, raids, mass arrests, thefts, and assassinations, tensions are escalating, leading many to anticipate a boiling point during the holy month of Ramadan.

Israeli Minister of Security, Yoav Gallant, has cautioned about potential security escalations during Ramadan, coinciding with the Palestinian factions' calls for participation in the "Ramadan Flood" to support Gaza.
