The Balata refugee camp, east of Nablus, was also raided, resulting in the arrest of Samih Diab after his home was searched.

The detainees were identified as Luay Muhammad Ajaj Salim and Muhammad Anwar Nasser after forces raided their homes. In the town of Anabta, east of Tulkarm, Israeli occupation forces raided several homes, including those of released prisoners, ransacking property, conducting field interrogations, and detaining several young men temporarily. No arrests were reported there.
