The Palestinian Ministry of Health announced in a brief statement the “martyrdom of the young man Osama Yasser Muhammad Kamil (20 years old) by the occupation’s bullets in the town of Qabatiya,” south of the city of Jenin (north), without details, but eyewitnesses explained that a force of the occupation army stormed the town and raided and searched several houses, so clashes broke out during which the soldiers fired at young men who threw stones at them, which led to the martyrdom of the young man.
On Wednesday evening, a young Palestinian man was shot by the occupation army during a raid on the entrance to the Shuafat camp east of Jerusalem, where they stormed the Shuafat camp sports club, terrorized the children, and interrogated the club's president and his deputy.
On the other hand, the Voice of Palestine radio station (official) reported that clashes broke out with the Israeli army during a raid on the village of Silat al-Harithiya, northwest of Jenin, without mentioning any injuries. The station also reported raids on several towns in the northern West Bank, including Sebastia, northwest of Nablus, Osarin, southeast of the city, and Qaffin, north of Tulkarm.
She added that the raids also targeted the villages of Kafr Malik, northeast of Ramallah (central), and Husan, west of Bethlehem (south), where the army arrested a young man.
The operation continues in Tubas
In addition to killing 3 Palestinians, the occupation army arrested 60 Palestinians, wounded 10 others, and forced dozens of families to evacuate their homes in the military operation that it launched on Wednesday morning in the Tubas Governorate in the northern occupied West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society reported that its crews treated 10 injuries resulting from severe beatings. Four of the injured were transferred to the hospital, while six others received on-site treatment. The crews stated that the Israeli army clearly obstructed their work in the governorate while transporting 30 patients, including 20 requiring dialysis, and a deceased person who was transported from inside a house to the hospital.
They noted that fieldwork continues despite the ongoing incursion and the deployment of Israeli forces around the city of Tubas and the town of Tammun, where the operation is concentrated.
The Governor of Tubas and the Northern Jordan Valley, Ahmed al-Asaad, stated that the army forces "carried out extensive acts of vandalism inside homes," including destroying contents, damaging vehicles, and causing damage to infrastructure.
The Palestinian Prisoners Club (Ahli) stated in a press release that "Israeli field interrogations and arrests in the Tubas governorate have targeted approximately 60 citizens since dawn today, including children, families of martyrs, and former prisoners." He added that "during its ongoing aggression against the Tubas Governorate, the occupation carried out widespread sabotage and destruction of infrastructure, and is turning citizens' homes into military barracks."
The Israeli army attempted to justify its ongoing large-scale offensive, which began Wednesday morning, on the Tubas governorate in the northern occupied West Bank, citing its usual security pretexts, including "detecting attempts by terrorist elements to establish positions."
While the Israeli army spoke of a security aspect to the operation—namely, "eliminating terrorists"—Palestinian observers warned of undeclared objectives for the aggression, namely the continued expansion of settlements and the displacement of Palestinians.Yedioth Ahronoth quoted sources as saying that the operation in the northern West Bank is being led by three brigades: the Menashe Brigade, the Shomron Brigade, and the Commando Brigade.
The Maariv newspaper quoted sources in the army as saying that the operation came after monitoring an increase in attempts to carry out Palestinian operations during the past weeks, and monitoring a movement aimed at reconstituting armed battalions.
The Israeli army stated that special forces are combing dozens of buildings and interrogating suspected Palestinians in the area, stressing that the operation will continue "to prevent terrorism from taking root and to eliminate any security threat," as it put it.
The Al-Bader Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights stated that settlers stormed the homes of the Palestinian Al-Baaran family in the Al-Mahtoush Bedouin community near Khan al-Ahmar, east of Jerusalem, for the fourth consecutive day. The organization indicated that the settlers destroyed the fence of one of the family's homes during these ongoing incursions.
She explained that settlers frequently raid the area, in attacks aimed at creating a state of intimidation and pressure on the residents.
With the martyrdom of the young man Kamil in Jenin, the number of Palestinians killed in the escalation by theby the Israeli army and settlers in the West Bank since the start of the war of extermination on Gaza rises to more than 1,083, in addition to about 11,000 wounded and more than 20,500 detainees.
The ceasefire agreement in Gaza between Tel Aviv and Hamas came into effect on October 10, 2025, ending a two-year Israeli genocide that left more than 69,000 Palestinian martyrs and more than 170,000 wounded
