Two Zionistsoldiers were killed and six others were wounded on Tuesday morning in a shooting operation near the village of Tayasir, east of Tubas, in the northern occupied West Bank.
Occupation military radio had confirmed that eight soldiers were injured in total, with two sustaining fatal wounds. The wounded were airlifted to hospital by a military helicopter.
Escalation in the occupied West Bank
Zionist media reported that the shooting took place near a village where the occupation army is operating as part of its aggression on the northern West Bank.
Zionist media added that the Tayasir area witnessed an armed confrontation between a Palestinian man and Zionist soldiers, which led to fatalities and injuries among the Israeli forces.
Later, it was confirmed that the Palestinian who carried out the operation was martyred.
In detail, the shooter had reached the military checkpoint near Tayasir, barricaded himself inside a watchtower, opened fire on the soldiers, and engaged in confrontations with them, according to occupation media.
Following the operation, the military completely closed the Tayasir checkpoint, southeast of Jenin, and is conducting searches in its vicinity while recalling reinforcements to the area.
The occupation army has launched a brutal aggression on the West Bank in the past two weeks, resorting to military methods it had rarely used in the past in the area.
Recently, the military deployed Eitan AFVs, which the Nahal Brigade usually uses in combat, in the Tubas and Jenin areas, for the first time since “Operation Defensive Shield” in 2002.
Meanwhile, the Palestinian Ministry of Health announced yesterday that 70 Palestinians have been martyred in the West Bank governorates since the beginning of this year, most of whom were from the Jenin governorate.
In a statement, the ministry specified that the death toll included 10 children, a woman, and two elderly individuals.
The Palestinian resistance factions have praised the heroic operation carried out at the Tayaseer military checkpoint, considering it a legitimate and natural response to the ongoing crimes of the zionist enemy against the Palestinian people, particularly in the northern West Bank.
Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
The operation, which resulted in the killing and injury of eight occupation soldiers, is a direct response to the systematic crimes of the enemy, including the ethnic cleansing and extermination campaigns in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas. The resistance continues to prove that the enemy’s attempts to suppress it in the West Bank will fail. As long as Palestinian land remains under occupation, resistance will persist and escalate. The enemy’s plans for annexation and forced displacement will collapse under the blows of the resistance and the steadfastness of the Palestinian people.
Mujahideen Movement:
This qualitative operation confirms the failure of all efforts to eradicate the resistance in the West Bank. It delivers a security and intelligence setback to the zionist enemy, reaffirming that its soldiers and settlers will not enjoy safety anywhere in Palestine. The movement calls upon resistance fighters to intensify their strikes and make the zionist entity pay the price for its ongoing crimes.
Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:
The operation exposes the fragility of the zionist security system and its inability to curb the rising resistance in the West Bank. The fighter’s ability to penetrate a military site, reach the soldiers’ barracks, and attack at point-blank range demonstrates exceptional courage and planning. This is a direct failure of the enemy’s assassination policies and large-scale military campaigns in northern West Bank areas. The operation sends a clear message: the resistance can adapt and take the initiative, and the West Bank will never be a safe haven for occupation forces and settlers. This is a natural and justified response to the enemy’s crimes and a call to escalate open confrontation and increase high-impact resistance operations that deplete the enemy and disrupt its leadership.

The occupation’s ongoing crimes against our Palestinian people in the West Bank and its camps in Jenin, Tulkarem, and Tubas will not weaken the resolve of our people and their resistance. This operation against an occupation’s military checkpoint affirms the determination of our rebellious youth and our valiant resistance in the West Bank to continue on the path of resistance and confront the fascist zionist aggression.

The heroic Tayaseer checkpoint operation is a message from the resistance to all those betting on its defeat and retreat in the face of zionist crimes that it remains steadfast, rooted, and committed to its covenant. The escalating zionist campaigns, crimes, and assassination operations will only add to its glory and resilience. Its banner will not fall, nor will its direction, conviction, or principles change. It will remain a beacon until the collapse of this usurping entity.
