Israeli Defense Minister Yisrael Katz said a senior Hamas official was captured Tuesday during operations in the Gaza Strip.
Katz did not disclose the detainee’s identity but said Israeli forces were pursuing Hamas members.
An Israeli security official said the detainee was wounded during the operation in Gaza and taken to Israel for treatment.
Meanwhile, Ismail al-Thawabta, director-general of the Gaza Government Media Office, had announced that some members of an Israeli-affiliated special force attempting to operate in Gaza City had been killed that same morning.
