At least six Israelis wounded in West Bank

Qodsna- Palestinian resistance group Hamas issued a statement praising a "double heroic operation" in the occupied West Bank, saying it "is a clear message that resistance will remain striking, prolonged and sustained as long as the brutal occupation's aggression and targeting of our people and land continue".

Hamas said that the timing of the two attacks—one at a petrol station in the illegal Israeli Gush Etzion settlement and the other in the illegal Israeli settlement of Karmei Tzur, about 8 km (4.9 miles) away—was significant because they occurred while Israeli forces were conducting a large military operation in the northern part of the territory.

Hamas described the attacks as a major blow to the occupation’s security system, noting that they were carried out while Israeli forces were on high alert.

Violence in the occupied West Bank, already on the rise before the war in Gaza, has escalated recently, with stepped-up deadly Israeli military raids and illegal Israeli settler violence.

Zionist regime’s largest military assault in two decades in the occupied West Bank has entered its fourth day with the army, accompanied by bulldozers, leaving a trail of destruction after firing live ammunition and tear gas.
