Israeli forces conducted a significant operation in Qabatiya, a town near Jenin in the West Bank, resulting in the deaths of multiple Palestinian gunmen. The IDF reported that four gunmen were killed during clashes, with military sources indicating that a drone strike was also employed against a group of gunmen in a vehicle. Palestinian sources claimed that three gunmen were killed inside a house surrounded by Israeli troops, who utilized heavy weaponry and prevented emergency crews from accessing the area. The operation has led to heightened tensions, with families being urged to evacuate nearby homes and reports of injuries among civilians. This escalation follows increased violence in the region since the conflict between Israel and Hamas reignited in October 2023.
