Additionally, Israeli occupation forces raided the town of al-Samu in southern al-Khalil and the vicinity of the al-Nazal neighborhood in Qalqilya, northwest of the occupied West Bank.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Lions of Glory Groups announced that they had confronted a special Israeli force that infiltrated Qalqilya early Monday morning, engaging in fierce confrontations with it using machine guns.
On Sunday evening, the groups confirmed that their fighters successfully targeted an Israeli military vehicle with an Improvised explosive device (IED), confirming a direct hit.
In a related context, footage circulated on social media early Monday showed Palestinian youths setting fire to lands seized by the Israeli occupation forces from Palestinians for settlers in the town of Bani Na'im, east of al-Khalil.

It is noteworthy that, since October 7, 2023, the Israeli occupation has intensified its aggression on West Bank cities, coinciding with its war on the Gaza Strip.
For the past eight months, the occupied West Bank has been witnessing near-daily raids by the Israeli occupation forces accompanied by widespread detainment campaigns, met with fierce resistance by the Palestinian youth.
Since October 7, the Israeli occupation forces have detained more than 9,700 Palestinians in the West Bank, according to Palestinian institutions concerned with prisoners' affairs.
The detainment campaigns launched by the Israeli occupation forces are accompanied by criminal violations against Palestinian citizens, including brutal physical assault, blackmailing Palestinians by threatening their families' well-being, widespread destruction and vandalism of the homes of detainees, and the theft of private property.
