The Tubas Battalion of the Al-Quds Brigades on Wednesday said that it had "confronted the incursion of the occupation forces" in the Tubas region of the occupied West Bank, Al Jazeera Arabic reported.

In a statement, the group said that it had detonated explosives against Israeli army vehicles and achieved direct hits.
