In a major setback for the Israeli occupation, its forces were forced to withdraw from the eastern part of Nablus in the northern West Bank after confronting fierce resistance from Palestinian fighters.
The al-Quds Brigades and al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, both based in Nablus, claimed responsibility for the clashes that erupted as Israeli occupation troops tried to storm the city. The Palestinian fighters engaged the Israeli forces with heavy gunfire and explosive devices, thwarting their incursion.
According to local sources, over 20 Israeli military vehicles, accompanied by bulldozers, had entered Nablus on Sunday evening from the Awarta and Beit Furik checkpoints, apparently to secure access for Israeli settlers to the nearby Joseph’s Tomb. However, the determined resistance from the Palestinian factions forced the Israelis to pull out after hours of intense confrontations.

Separately, Israeli occupation forces also carried out raids in other parts of the West Bank, including Halhul, north of Hebron, and the village of Burqa, east of Ramallah.
The developments came a day after four young Palestinian men were killed by Israeli gunfire during an assault on the village of Sir, southeast of Jenin. Local sources said the four victims were Montaser Jalal Aziz Naim, Ismail Mohammed Ismail Abu Rob, Wael Hassan Lahloh, and Abdel Salam Nabih Abu Rob.
