Evidence: IDF post on counterterrorism operations in Judea and Samaria, IDF says Hebron raid continues; six suspects apprehended in nearby West Bank villages

The IDF primary post was read. The dated newsroom report explicitly cites IDF and police for the overnight village arrests. Exact villages and arrest sites are not identified. The measured Hebron locality is a vicinity reference, not a claim that all arrests occurred inside the city.
