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

- 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.
