Israeli Forces Intensify Operations in Northern West Bank

On November 13, 2024, Israeli occupation forces escalated their military operations in the northern West Bank, particularly around Nablus, amidst ongoing clashes with Palestinian resistance groups. Reports indicate that the Israeli army conducted raids in various towns, including the Balata area, and imposed strict military measures that have significantly disrupted civilian movement.

Local sources reported the closure of the Deir Sharaf military checkpoint in both directions, along with heightened restrictions at the Al-Murabba’a and Awarta checkpoints. These actions have led to severe traffic disruptions and a humanitarian crisis for residents trying to navigate the area. The situation has been exacerbated by the recent death of an 18-year-old Palestinian, Walid Hussein, who was shot by Israeli forces at a checkpoint, sparking further tensions in the region.

In addition to the situation in Nablus, Israeli forces also stormed the city of Salfit, continuing their pattern of incursions across the West Bank. The Jenin Battalion of the Al-Quds Brigades reported engaging in fierce clashes with Israeli forces in the town of Silat al-Harithiya, indicating a significant escalation in armed resistance against the occupation.

This surge in military activity comes in the context of a broader conflict, with the Israeli army conducting operations in the West Bank while the situation in Gaza remains dire. According to official Palestinian data, since the onset of hostilities on October 7, 2023, there have been over 780 Palestinian fatalities, approximately 6,300 injuries, and the arrest of more than 11,600 individuals. The ongoing violence underscores the deteriorating humanitarian situation and the urgent need for a resolution to the conflict.
