On Saturday Palestinian Resistance fighters confronted Zionist occupation forces during raids on several areas and towns in the occupied West Bank.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the military wing of the Fatah movement, announced that its fighters engaged in armed confrontations using machine guns and improvised explosive devices with occupation forces during their incursion into the al-Ain refugee camp in Nablus, located in the northern West Bank.
Occupation forces arrested Mohammad Khaled Abu Ranjo after raiding his home in the camp.
In a related development, the Nablus Brigade of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s al-Quds Brigades stated that its fighters also confronted the Israeli forces in the al-Ain camp, successfully attacking infantry forces with an improvised explosive device, resulting in confirmed casualties.
In a previously disclosed operation, the Nablus Brigades claimed responsibility for a sniper attack on June 2, 2024, which targeted a settler on Mount Gerizim. Following this, a Zionist infantry unit entered Nablus from Mount Dahia, where they were met with heavy gunfire from the al-Quds Brigades fighters, causing severe injuries.

In a separate raid, the Zionist forces stormed the home of the Palestinian who carried out the Kedumim operation in the village of Baqat al-Hatab in Qalqilya in the northern West Bank.
