Israel says it captured Hamas security chief in Gaza raid
–
Neutral summary
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced that Israeli forces have captured the head of Hamas's internal security service in the Gaza Strip. Netanyahu said the detainee was responsible for 'hiding and moving our hostages' and for 'strengthening the organization's capabilities.' The operation in Gaza City involved intense airstrikes, which Palestinian rescue crews say killed four people, including three children. Hamas has not confirmed the capture but has warned that the raid could cause the already fragile ceasefire to collapse.
