The 2023 storming of Tammun and Qabatiya occurred on 22 October 2023 when the Israel Defense Forces raided the Palestinian cities of Qabatiya and Tammun in the West Bank in conjunction with Operation Iron Swords in Gaza.

As Israel launched a rare air raid on a mosque in the Jenin refugee camp, the Israeli Air Force launched overnight strikes on Qabatiya, Tammun, and Nablus, targeting Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad targets. The IDF proceeded to launch raids on the two towns; in Qabatia, the Palestinian youth Obaida Khaled Kamil was shot by live Israeli ammunition while taking part in confrontations with the IDF, while, in Tammun, 20-year-old Adnan Abu Helmi was killed while confronting the IDF. Six other young men in the region were injured during clashes with the IDF in Tubas.
