Violent confrontations broke out between Palestinian Resistance fighters and Israeli occupation forces during their storming of the city of Tubas, northeast of the occupied West Bank, at dawn on Sunday.
Up until the early morning hours, Resistance fighters were engaging Israeli vehicles with pre-prepared explosive devices in the al-Tayaser axis in the city, and showering invading forces with gunfire, as confirmed by the Tubas Brigade of the al-Quds Brigades.
In the al-Wad axis, the Brigade had set up a complex ambush against the occupation forces, whereby the Resistance fighters in the engineering unit targeted an Israeli military vehicle with an IED, disabling it.

Later, an Israeli media platform confirmed that a “Tigris” military vehicle that mounted an explosive device was damaged during “operational activity” in the town of Tubas in the Jordan Valley.
In the ambush, the Resistance fighters showered the Israeli support forces with gunfire, impacting the soldiers directly, in parallel with their confrontation with the invading forces on other battle fronts and targeting sniper positions and infantry forces with heavy salvoes of bullets.
The Tubas Brigade of the al-Quds Brigades set up another complex ambush against Israeli infantry forces near the house of a Palestinian pursued by the occupation forces, also impacting the soldiers directly.
On its part, the al-Qassam Brigades in Tubas confirmed that its fighters confronted the Israeli forces storming the city and showered them with bullets.
As the occupation forces were withdrawing from the city, pulling behind the damaged vehicle, a second explosive device was detonated.
