Israeli Forces Conduct Raids and Clashes in West Bank
Israeli occupation forces have intensified their operations in the West Bank, particularly in Nablus and Tulkarm, leading to significant clashes with Palestinian resistance fighters. Reports indicate that occupation forces conducted raids across various neighborhoods in Nablus, resulting in multiple arrests. Resistance fighters engaged the occupation forces, targeting their vehicles as they withdrew from the northern mountain region towards central Nablus.
In Tulkarm, military operations escalated with the Palestinian Ministry of Health reporting the deaths of four Palestinians during confrontations, three of whom were killed during a military operation at the Nour Shams camp. The situation in Tulkarm remains tense, with armed clashes and explosions reported as Israeli forces deployed reinforcements to the area. The Tulkarm Battalion of the Al-Quds Brigades claimed responsibility for detonating an explosive device targeting an Israeli armored personnel carrier during these clashes.
UNRWA Reports Damage to Office Amid Escalating Tensions
In a related development, the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) has accused Israeli forces of damaging its office in the Nour Shams camp. UNRWA Commissioner Philippe Lazzarini stated that the office was severely damaged by Israeli bulldozers, rendering it unusable. However, the Israeli military has refuted these claims, asserting that the allegations of destruction are unfounded. The ongoing violence and military operations in the West Bank continue to exacerbate the humanitarian situation for Palestinian residents, raising concerns among international observers.
