Al-Mayadeen reported Palestinian sources as saying that “the occupation forces raided the vicinity of the Old City and besieged a house in Al-Yasmina neighborhood, amid violent confrontations with Resistance fighters as the latter sought to protect their city and people.”
“This comes at a time when the Lions’ Den resistance group announced, on Tuesday, that it raised the state of alert and readiness among its fighters and resistance fighters in Nablus, Ramallah, al-Khalil, and Jenin,” Al-Mayadeen added.
The Palestinian Ministry of Education in Nablus announced a one-hour delay in schools until the Israeli forces withdraw from the city in order to guarantee the safety of the students and teachers.
