Israeli security forces arrested a senior Hamas official, Mu'een Muhammad al-Arbeed, within the Gaza Strip on Tuesday, according to Israeli Security Minister Yisrael Katz. Al-Arbeed is reportedly a high-ranking figure in Hamas's internal security apparatus. The arrest operation in Gaza City reportedly involved an exchange of fire, with Palestinian sources claiming several individuals were killed. An Israeli military source stated the operation was conducted to "neutralize an immediate threat" and confirmed no Israeli forces were injured.
Later reports from Gaza indicated four Palestinians were killed. A Palestinian security source accused the Israeli army of targeting civilian vehicles to cover the operation. These claims have not been independently verified. The arrest coincided with Israeli airstrikes in Gaza City.
Hamas's interior ministry stated its security agencies are monitoring the situation following the Israeli attacks, which it claimed resulted in civilian casualties. A Hamas official warned that the arrest of the senior official "jeopardizes the ceasefire agreement," expressing concerns about the impact on existing security and political arrangements in Gaza.
