Israeli occupation forces carried out extensive raids across the West Bank, including Nablus and Hebron, leading to the killing of a child and the displacement of thousands.
Sounds of gunfire and explosions were heard in the old town of Nablus, located in the northern West Bank, following Israeli occupation military actions in the area.

The incident occurred after news broke that Israeli occupation forces had withdrawn from the village of Yasid, north of Nablus, following the detention of a Palestinian man and his wife from a besieged house.
The occupation forces had sent Israeli occupation military reinforcements, including a bulldozer, and explosions were heard as they surrounded the home.
Simultaneously, the Israeli occupation military conducted operations in multiple areas of the occupied West Bank.

This was part of a broader strategy of intimidation against families of prisoners, further escalating tensions in the region.
Israeli occupation troops also raided the Amari camp in Al-Bireh and the Airport Street area in the Kafr Aqab neighborhood, located north of Jerusalem. These operations reflect the continued Israeli presence and military incursions across the West Bank.
In another tragic development, 13-year-old Ayman Al-Haimouni was killed by Israeli bullets during clashes in the Al-Kassara area of Hebron (Al-Khalil).

The Palestinian Red Crescent reported that its medical teams transferred the child to a hospital, where he later died from his injuries. The clashes occurred as Israeli occupation forces stormed the Jabal Jawhar and Al-Kassara areas, which have been sites of heavy military activity.
