According to multiple sources, an Israeli military operation took place in Gaza City, resulting in the deaths of four people. It has been reported that three of the victims were children. The strikes targeted a Hamas official, the head of internal security for the movement, whose arrest has been confirmed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The operation was announced by Netanyahu, who stated that Israeli forces aimed to neutralize threats to the security of the State of Israel. Observers noted that this action has further heightened tensions in the region.

Hamas, on the other hand, has not confirmed the arrest of its official and condemned the operation as an aggression. Some media outlets have also reported on international reactions concerning the reported civilian casualties.

Witnesses on the ground described scenes of chaos following the strikes. The precise circumstances and details of the operation remain unclear as investigations are underway regarding the events.
