The Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) announced early Wednesday morning the start of a large-scale military operation in the northern occupied West Bank.

According to Hebrew media, this operation is the most extensive of its kind in the region since 2002.

In a preliminary toll, at least 11 Palestinians have been martyred, and others injured due to the Israeli occupation's attacks on the West Bank.

On the ground, Al-Quds Brigades - Tulkarm Battalion confirmed it had downed a drone in the Manshiyya area. They also reported targeting sniper positions in the Nur Shams camp, resulting in direct hits.

Meanwhile, Al-Quds Brigades - Jenin Battalion engaged in clashes with occupation forces on the western front, firing volleys of bullets at the occupation forces and military vehicles, causing direct hits.

Additionally, Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Tulkarm continues to engage in fierce clashes with the occupation forces that have stormed the Nur Shams camp, using machine guns and explosive devices.

Following the launch of the Operation Agsa Typhoon by Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, on October 7, 2023, the Israeli Occupation significantly increased the frequency of its raids on cities in the West Bank.

Hebrew media reported that the IOF Air Force conducted more than 70 airstrikes on the area since the beginning of the aggression on Gaza.
