The IDF announced that its forces from the 9221st "Samaria" Reserve Battalion of the 442nd "Samaria" Territorial Brigade, and undercover Border Police officers have arrested the head of the Balata company.
The Balata company is a small Palestinian armed group subordinated under the Nablus Battalion, which is a part of the Saraya al-Quds brigades (armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad). It is based in the Balata Refugee Camp in the eastern part of the city of Nablus.
After reaching the centre of the camp, they reportedly engaged in clashes with Palestinian fighters, who threw improvised explosive devices (IEDs) while Israeli forces cleared the area, which was fortified by the Palestinians, with grenades and other explosives. The IDF claimed that a small group of undercover Israeli police officers managed to infiltrate the building and captured "Qaran" - the head of the Balata Company.
No casualties were reported among Israeli forces. Notably, the Saraya Al-Quds brigades did not release any statements regarding the clashes as they usually do.

Keep in mind, this is not a huge loss for Palestinian resistance in the West Bank. All of the armed groups here are very "rag-tag" these days and have very little coordination. They operate in cells of 1-2 fighters and mostly operate by detonating low yield Improvised Explosive Devices on Israeli vehicles, which rarely do much damage.
New heads of these companies pop up almost instantly after the old head is eliminated. The heads also don't do much which would require a lot of training for a new head due to the small nature of the groups, limited coordination, limited weapons due to the lack of supply and constant Israeli raids, and little experience of the fighters - many of which are very young.
A new head will pop up soon, and he will be killed within a year or so. Israel claims these groups pose a major threat to Israeli security, but the only real threats come from lone-wolf terrorist attacks in Israeli territory, or to the Israeli forces actually entering the refugee camps in the West Bank. This is very different to Hamas and the armed groups in Gaza which have the ability to regularly fire rockets into Israel, can put up significant armed resistance at specific points, have a lot of experience in fighting Israelis, much more weaponry and manpower, and had the ability to conduct large-scale operations such as "al-Aqsa flood" on October 7, 2023.

So, if you see statements made by Palestinian armed groups in the West Bank that suggest high levels of coordination and significant results on Israeli forces, please know that they are heavily exaggerated and often blatant lies.
The only group which really had significant experience, coordination and a proper leadership structure was the Jenin battalion, specifically the fighters based in the Jenin Refugee Camp. It was seen as the capital of Palestinian resistance in the West Bank. However, since the Israeli military operation in Jenin and its Refugee Camp, the group which went from numbering in the hundreds, and actually controlling and administering the camp is completely dismantled, with its members either being killed, in Israeli custody, or fleeing to other parts of the Jenin governorate.
Of course, the Jenin battalion will probably return in the future under new leadership (the old leader was assassinated in a joint operation by the Palestinian Authority and the IDF during the failed Palestinian Authority military operation last year), but the Jenin camp is currently uninhabitable, with many of its buildings being bulldozed or blown up, meaning that any reformation of armed resistance in the camp will take time.

In the Yunakivka direction, Russian forces advanced and captured new positions in Sumy Oblast.
Russian forces advanced in two main areas. The most progress was made in the west where they pushed south down a treeline, and captured positions there and in the nearby forest plantations. They then advanced through the fields to the two treelines further south, capturing positions in them too.
In the east, Russian forces marginally advanced in the village of Loknya and recaptured previously lost positions in the houses in the northern part of the village.
+ ~8.21km² in favour of Russia.
