Israel Confirms Capture of Hamas Interior Security Chief in Gaza
Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed that a special operation in western Gaza resulted in a successful arrest. According to Hamas sources, the target was the commander of Hamas's internal security apparatus, a role described as equivalent to the head of the Shin Bet.
Earlier reports from Al Jazeera, citing a Palestinian source, had suggested the operation in the Al-Shati area failed and the senior official escaped. However, the Israeli confirmation directly contradicts these earlier claims.
The operation's success, as stated by Minister Katz, indicates a significant intelligence and operational achievement for Israeli forces.
