On January 25, Israeli forces raided the Balata RC near Nablus. This is part of the incursion campaign across all urban areas of the West Bank, which has been underway since the ceasefire in Gaza and the "Iron Wall" operation in Jenin. Large Palestinian crowds had gathered during the day to welcome prisoner released as part of the ceasefire agreements

A video circulating on social media shows the moment Ahmad Mahmoud Hashash, 42-year-old, was shot with live bullets while trying to seek shelter in an alley. Ahmad Mahmoud Hashash, succumbed to his injuries on Saturday evening. He was critically injured by live fire during the incursion and was transported to a hospital in Nablus, where his death was later confirmed.

During the raid Israeli forces deployed snipers on rooftops and used live ammunition and tear gas during the attack.

The raid came as the occupying forces were conducting raids into the houses of prisoners set free as part of the second batch under the Gaza ceasefire agreement to prevent any "public displays of joy”.
