Israeli forces detained six individuals, including four teenagers, during an evening raid on the town of Kobar, situated northwest of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank. The arrests came as part of a broader wave of military operations conducted overnight between Sunday and Monday.

Israeli troops carried out raids across several areas of the West Bank, including Jalazone in Tulkarem, Tubas in the northern district of Nablus, Si’ir in Hebron, and Kobar in Ramallah. These incursions form part of an intensifying campaign by Israeli forces in the territory, which has seen a marked uptick in arrests and military presence in recent weeks.

The Israeli military also continued its operation in the city of Tulkarem and its adjacent refugee camps, including Nur Shams. The area remains under heavy military deployment, with ongoing pressure on residents to evacuate their homes. The escalation has heightened tensions and contributed to growing instability across the West Bank, amid a broader deterioration in the security situation throughout the occupied Palestinian territories.
