Israeli special forces, including Shin Bet operatives, carried out a raid in Gaza City to capture Muein al-Arabid, the head of Hamas's internal security service. The Israeli military said strikes accompanying the operation killed four people during what officials described as a 'bold operation.' Prime Minister Netanyahu, the military, and Shin Bet confirmed the successful capture. The raid represents a significant intelligence and military operation targeting Hamas's internal apparatus in Gaza, even as a ceasefire framework remains in place. It comes amid continued friction over the durability of the truce and ongoing skirmishes in the territory.
