Another Israeli incursion took place in Qalqilya, north of the West Bank where a number of military vehicles entered the city from the eastern entrance, according to Al-Jazeera.
These incursions came in parallel with developing events in Jenin where Israeli special forces raided a house in Kafr Qud, southwest of Jenin.
According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, this resulted in the death of two Palestinians and injury of several others. The occupation forces are still holding the bodies of those killed and detaining those injured.
Earlier in Tubas, northeast of the city of Nablus, mourners held a funeral procession for four Palestinians killed in a raid conducted on Tuesday in the town of Ukaba.

Mourners roamed the city’s streets while chanting angry slogans denouncing Israeli crimes and in support of the resistance.
In Jenin, Mohammad Ali Abu Hijab succumbed to critical wounds he sustained Tuesday when the Israeli occupation forces bombed a vehicle in the eastern neighborhood of the city, according to the official Palestinian news agency WAFA.
According to official Palestinian sources, the escalation of military operations in the West Bank, along with the unprecedented surge of settler attacks on Palestinians, has resulted in the death of 619 Palestinians and the wounding of around 5,400 others in different parts of the West Bank, since October 7.
