Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu congratulated the Shin Bet and IDF forces on a daring operation in the heart of Gaza that resulted in the capture of the head of Hamas's internal security apparatus. Netanyahu emphasized the significance of the arrest, identifying the detainee as one of Hamas's most central leaders. He stated the individual was directly involved in concealing and transporting Israeli hostages, hiding Hamas leaders, and attempting to restore the organization's terror capabilities in the Strip.
