Israeli occupation forces (IOF) raided Tulkarm, in the occupied West Bank, and committed "a cowardly assassination" in Aktaba, according to a statement issued by the Rapid Response Groups, in general, and the Tulkarm Brigade more specifically.
Tehran (ISNA) - In their statement, they considered the three martyrs Youssef al-Khouli, Ahed Rajab, and Tariq Shaheen to be martyrs of the Battle of Al-Aqsa Storm.
Significantly, the statement also mourned the Hezbollah leader who was also martyred earlier on Monday in South Lebanon, Martyr Wissam Tawil, announcing "the launch of an expanded operation for all our brigades and groups from now until further notice."
Israeli occupation forces raided Tulkarm in the northern West Bank and were met with resistance from Palestinian fighters at multiple points in the city and its camps.
The occupation forces imposed a siege on Tulkarm camp and deployed sniper teams to all surrounding entrances.
During the incursion, special Israeli forces surrounded a group of Palestinian youths, and intense confrontations erupted between Resistance fighters and occupation forces at the Iktaba roundabout northeast of the city. The Palestine Red Crescent Society also reported that Israeli forces prevented medical teams from reaching several wounded individuals in the Iktaba suburb.
On its part, the Tulkarm Brigade announced the targeting of the Annab checkpoint, east of the city, while the three martyrs are being laid to rest amid crowds. The Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades - Nur Shams camp claimed responsibility for targeting an Israeli military force stationed at the same checkpoint earlier in the day.
Elsewhere, in Jenin, the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades stated that its fighters engaged in fierce confrontations with raiding occupation forces in the town of Arraba southwest of the city.
