Israel Says Senior Hamas Member Seized as Strikes Kill Three During Gaza Raid

  • Katz announced that the IDF conducted an operation near the American Hospital in western Gaza City targeting a senior Hamas figure, as part of ongoing military activity in Gaza.
  • Conflicting reports from Al-Hadath and witnesses described either an Israeli special-forces unit or an Israeli-backed Palestinian militia attempting to capture a member of the Hamas-controlled security apparatus in Al-Katiba.
  • Heavy exchanges of fire preceded Israeli aircraft launching at least 15 airstrikes, with some Palestinian accounts estimating above 18, while local media reported between three and eight people killed.
  • The IDF confirmed the operation, stating no troops were trapped or injured as drones operated overhead and the incident neared its conclusion with forces in control.
  • During a visit to Netiv HaAsara, Katz reiterated that Israel will maintain a presence in the Gaza Strip to secure western Negev communities until Hamas is disarmed.
