UPDATE: The Israeli army announced the death of two soldiers and the injury
of eitght others. This is all we know about the operation so far.

A Palestinian fighter carried out a daring resistance operation against an
Israeli military post in Tayaseer, east of Tubas, wounding eight soldiers,
including two in critical condition.

The operation, which took place despite heavy Israeli military
reinforcements in the northern occupied West Bank, targeted a fortified
military complex near the Tayaseer checkpoint and led to prolonged clashes
between the fighter and Israeli forces.

Below are the details of the operation as reported by Israeli media.

According to Israeli Army Radio, the fighter infiltrated the military site
before opening fire, surprising the soldiers and engaging them in combat.

The Israeli military was reportedly caught off guard as the resistance
fighter maneuvered inside the base, prompting an intense firefight.

The fighter was reportedly wearing a bulletproof vest and had precise
intelligence regarding the location and movements of Israeli troops.

Israeli media reports also indicate that the fighter managed to seize
control of the upper floor of a military tower inside the complex, using it
to fire on soldiers below.

Channel 12 described the operation as highly organized, with the fighter
moving between different sections of the base, forcing Israeli troops into
prolonged combat.

Channel 13 confirmed that the fighter maintained control of the upper level
of the watchtower for some time, using the position strategically to engage
with the soldiers.

During the operation, an Israeli Air Force drone flew overhead, but the
army refrained from using it, fearing it would hit its own forces.

As the confrontation continued, Israeli reinforcements arrived and
eventually killed the fighter.

The Israeli Broadcasting Corporation (KAN) reported that additional forces
were deployed to the area, closing the checkpoint and launching a military
response.

The Israeli newspaper Maariv revealed that the injured soldiers were
reserve troops recently deployed as reinforcements and belonged to the same
battalion that had suffered losses days earlier in Tammoun.

Military sources described the outcome as “severe and unacceptable,”
highlighting the scale and impact of the resistance operation.

 Investigations are ongoing, with Israeli officials acknowledging the level
of planning and execution involved in the operation, which took place in a
heavily fortified and reinforced zone.

The daring operation was carried out despite the ongoing Israeli military
aggression in the area.

*‘Heroic and Strategic Operation’*

The Palestinian resistance movement Hamas said in a statement that the
Tayaseer checkpoint operation reaffirms that Israeli crimes and aggression
in the northern occupied West Bank will not go unpunished and “will not
weaken the resolve of our people and their resistance.”

“This operation against an occupation’s military checkpoint affirms the
determination of our rebellious youth and our valiant resistance in the
West Bank to continue on the path of resistance and confront the fascist
Zionist aggression,” the statement added.

Similarly, the Islamic Jihad Movement hailed the “heroic and strategic
operation” in Tayaseer, describing it as a testament to Palestinian
resistance and determination to confront Israeli occupation crimes.

Since January 21, the Israeli military has been conducting a large-scale
operation in Jenin and its refugee camp, later expanding its offensive to
include Tulkarm. The assault has so far resulted in the killing of
approximately 30 Palestinians.

A statement by the Popular Resistance Committees reiterated that the
“Tayaseer checkpoint operation is a message from the resistance to all
those betting on its defeat and retreat in the face of Zionist crimes that
it remains steadfast, rooted, and committed to its covenant.”
