The Israeli Border Police and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have released on January 7, 2025, a footage from an undercover arrest operation in the Kasbah (Old City) of Nablus on the evening of January 2, based on intelligence provided by the Israel Security Agency (Shin Bet). Israeli security forces arrested a Palestinian man they "suspected to be a terrorist" at a cafe in Nablus in the West Bank. The undercover forces, operating covertly, entered the cafe undetected and arrested the unnamed suspect on-site. As the team withdrew, they encountered violent resistance from local groups (explosive devices, Molotov cocktails, and stones), while Israeli special forces employed live ammunition to shoot several assailants, allowing their escape. Israeli officials have not disclosed the suspect’s identity or the specific charges against him, citing operational security concerns. He has been transferred to the custody of the Shin Bet for further interrogation. Source [1](https://www.sofx.com/israeli-forces-arrest-senior-terrorist-suspect-in-nablus/)

On January 3, Israeli forces killed 18-year-old Muhammad Medhat Amin Amer by bullets and injured nine others during an intensified overnight raid on Balata refugee camp in the occupied West Bank. Four of the injured are in critical condition. The raid, which started on January 2, involved violent confrontations and the deployment of snipers on surrounding rooftops. The official Palestinian news agency Wafa reported that Israeli troops entered the camp from the Awarta checkpoint and "deployed snipers on the rooftops of surrounding buildings". The health ministry in the occupied West Bank said one person was killed and nine injured in an Israeli raid on a refugee camp, with the Israeli military claiming on Saturday it had opened fire at "terrorists". In a statement on Saturday, the Israeli military claimed that during the "counterterrorism" operation, "terrorists placed explosives in the area in order to harm (military) soldiers, hurled explosives, molotov cocktails, and rocks and shot fireworks at the forces". The raid is part of an ongoing escalation of Israeli military actions across the occupied West Bank.
