DUBAI, November 23. /TASS/. The Israeli military is storming Palestinian settlements in the West Bank, the Al Jazeera television channel said.

According to the television channel, Israeli troops are storming the Qalandia refugee camp north of Jerusalem and are advancing near Nablus. Apart from that, a shootout was reported from the Balat camp, where Israeli soldiers shot dead a Palestinian.

Tensions flared up again in the Middle East on October 7 after militants from the Gaza Strip-based radical Palestinian group Hamas launched a surprise incursion on Israeli territory, killing many Israeli kibbutz residents living near the Gaza border and abducting more than 200 Israelis, including women, children and the elderly. Hamas described its attack as a response to Israeli authorities’ aggressive actions against the Al-Aqsa Mosque on the Temple Mount in Jerusalem’s Old City. Israel declared a total blockade of the Gaza Strip and launched bombardments of the enclave and some areas in Lebanon and Syria, as well as a ground operation against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Clashes are also reported in the West Bank.
