The explosions follow months of tension in the West Bank, Palestinian territory held by Israel since 1967, where the Israeli military has stepped up operations following a series of deadly anti-Israeli attacks in March and April. Since then, it has launched over 2,000 raids in the West Bank, especially in the Jenin and Nablus sectors.
Its raids, during which clashes often erupt with the Palestinian population, have claimed the lives of over 125 people on the Palestinian side. It is the heaviest toll in the West Bank in about seven years, according to the UN.

A Palestinian teenager was killed in the West Bank
The body of an Israeli has been “kidnapped” in the occupied West Bank, where a Palestinian was killed in violent overnight clashes between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants, officials said early this morning.
The Israeli army said the body of an 18-year-old Israeli citizen, a member of the Druze minority who died in a “serious car accident” in the West Bank on Tuesday, was “abducted” from a hospital in Jenin, a stronghold of Palestinian armed groups.
At present no organization has claimed responsibility for the theft of the body. Kidnapping of Israelis, dead or alive, has been used in the past by Palestinian organizations as a means of pressuring Israeli authorities to obtain the release of prisoners or the return of dead Palestinians.
At the same time, eyewitnesses and officials spoke of violent clashes overnight in Nablus, a city in the northern part of the West Bank where in recent months a new armed Palestinian group, Arin al-Usoud (“Lions’ Den”) has emerged. .
“Ahmed Amzad Sehandeh, 16, was killed after being hit in the heart by a bullet fired by the Israeli occupation forces during an operation in Nablus,” the Palestinian Ministry of Health said in a statement, adding that there were also four wounded, including one seriously.

The Israeli army announced that it had carried out “an operation in the city of Nablus to ensure access for Israeli citizens to Joseph’s Tomb”, a site that Jews consider holy as it is believed to be where the tomb of Joseph, one of the sons of the patriarch Jacob, is located. Palestinians believe it is the tomb of a local Muslim cleric.
“Armed suspects fired live rounds at our forces who returned fire with live rounds,” the military added.
