IOF storms Tulkarm
At the same time, the occupation forces stormed the city of Tulkarm, arresting three Palestinians, while Resistance fighters confronted them and targeted them with bullet fire, according to Al Mayadeen‘s correspondent. Also, the IOF shot a young man in the town of Beit Furik, east of Nablus, and another was detained.
Local sources confirmed that several Israeli military vehicles stormed the town, raided several neighborhoods, and detained local Hilal Abu al-Saud after storming his house, searching and vandalizing it.

The sources pointed out that the young men confronted the occupation forces, who shot a young man in the foot, after which he was transferred to a medical center to be treated. Simultaneously, the occupation forces entered the city of Qalqilya through its eastern entrance with multiple vehicles, positioning themselves in the Kafr Saba and Khallet Nofal neighborhoods. They conducted raids on two homes, including one belonging to the Shteiwi family.
This unfolds amid ongoing confrontations in the West Bank, especially since the beginning of Israeli aggression on the Gaza Strip. Towns and cities in the West Bank endure daily raids, alongside extensive arrest campaigns, resulting in an increase in the number of martyrs and injuries from confrontations with the occupation forces.
