Following the attack, confrontations erupted between the Palestinian Resistance and Israeli occupation forces, with the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades reporting direct hits on occupation soldiers and vehicles. The Resistance also detonated IEDs, causing damage to an Israeli military vehicle.
An Israeli bulldozer also destroyed vehicles belonging to Palestinians during the raid on the eastern area of Nablus, while also deliberately obstructing the rescue teams and journalists’ operations.
Hours after the raid, which was met with confrontation from the Resistance, the Israeli forces withdrew from the area.
