Israeli forces continue their deadly campaign in the West Bank, killing Palestinians, demolishing infrastructure, and escalating military operations in Jenin, Tulkarm, and Jerusalem.
Israeli occupation forces shot and killed a Palestinian near the Shomron military base in the northern West Bank, according to Israeli media reports.
The incident occurred as the Israeli army continued its large-scale operations across Jenin and other areas in the occupied West Bank.
Israeli sources claimed that the Palestinian man attempted to carry out an attack on the central army base south of Nablus.
The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) reported that the Palestinian, who was allegedly driving a stolen vehicle, rammed the gate of the military base before being shot. The Israeli army stated that it is still working to verify his identity.

Meanwhile, Israeli forces have continued their raids and arrests in Jenin and its refugee camp for the 24th consecutive day. The attacks have so far resulted in the killing of 26 Palestinians and the displacement of thousands.
Al-Jazeera reported, citing local sources, that an Israeli drone bombed a vehicle in the eastern neighborhood of Jenin on Thursday morning. The vehicle was struck three times, though no injuries were reported.
