Editorial illustration generated by baba News, not a photograph of the event.

New footage has emerged showing the dramatic moments of the capture of a senior Hamas official, identified as the head of the organization's internal security apparatus, in western Gaza City. The video depicts the official attempting to hide among trees in an open area before Israeli forces located and apprehended him.

The operation, which involved intense fighting and aerial support, took place in western Gaza City. Reports indicate that an "anti-Israel" militia operating in the area was involved in the effort to reach the Hamas official, leading to an exchange of fire when the forces' presence was exposed. Israeli airstrikes were subsequently carried out to assist the ground forces.

Following the operation, Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz confirmed the capture of the senior Hamas figure.
