The Palestinian Resistance stood firm against the IOF incursion and detonated an explosive device in an IOF bulldozer that was causing damage and sabotage in the camp. Unfortunately, the IOF damaged the martyr Seif Abu Labde’s memorial and several roads while withdrawing from the site.

July Attack on Palestinian Women
Meanwhile, outrage has been growing across the West Bank and Gaza over the latest Israeli attacks on Palestinian women.
Haaretz Israeli newspaper reported on Monday that Two masked female Israeli soldiers with rifles and an attack dog forced five female members of a Palestinian family to strip naked during a raid in the West Bank city of Al-Khalil last July.
The occupation soldiers threatened to release the dog if the women did not comply, the family said, according to the report.

Resistance Vows Response
Palestinian resistance factions vowed response to the Israeli July attack, with Hamas affirming that “this crime is a dangerous escalation that our Palestinian people, their resistance.”
It added that “all these crimes and violations committed by this fascist occupation against our Palestinian people aim to terrorize and intimidate them, and discourage them from continuing on the path of resistance,” but stressed that such Israeli policy “will fall in the face of the steadfastness and determination of our people.”
The Palestinian Islamic Jihad told Palestinian media that “the crime of assaulting women puts every Palestinian who carries a weapon before the duty of aiming this weapon at the chest and head of the occupation, and to avenge the free women against whom this serious violation occurred.”
The Popular Resistance Committees condemned the attack, warning that “the crime of the occupation soldiers against five women in Hebron will not go unpunished, and the enemy will pay the price for its foolishness.”
Nablus-based Lions’ Den also vowed retaliation, stressing that the war with the Zionist regime is open. “Our heroes, along with our lone wolves who don’t accept humiliation, will emerge and deal you a blow,” the group said in a statement.
