The Al-Quds Brigades – Jenin Battalion stated that their fighters were engaged in fierce clashes with the Israeli occupation forces, reportedly inflicting confirmed injuries. The occupation military operations have compounded the suffering of residents in Tulkarm and Nour Shams camps, where forced evacuations have resulted in hundreds seeking refuge in schools amid dire living conditions and shortages of essential supplies.
As the Israeli occupation army continues its offensive, now in its 43rd day in Jenin and 37th day in Tulkarm, recent activities have also included raids in Nablus, Hebron, and Shuafat camp, which saw soldiers deploying tear gas and sound bombs, causing many residents to suffer from suffocation.

Israeli aggressions have resulted in injuries among civilians, including two Palestinians in Beita and two children in Odla, with one child sustaining a moderate chest injury.
Moreover, reports indicate that restrictions and violence at military checkpoints, such as the Beit Furik checkpoint, have worsened during Ramadan, with extensive delays and abuse reported against citizens trying to return to their homes.

The ongoing aggression, which has sparked outrage among communities, intensified further after the outbreak of widespread violence in Gaza on October 7, 2023. Official figures reveal that at least 928 Palestinians have been killed, with around 7,000 injured and 14,500 arrested since the escalation began, underscoring a grave humanitarian crisis in the region.
