Israeli security forces have captured several high-profile terrorists during a military operation at Shifa Hospital in Gaza. Among those apprehended were Raed Saad, a major commander in the al-Qassam brigades of Hamas, described as the Gaza Brigade commander, head of operations, and the 4th highest ranking commander. Khaled Al-Batsh, a member of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) Political Bureau, and Saed Basharat, a former prisoner released in the Shalit deal and part of the Hamas-controlled Hudud Network, were also arrested. The operation has been noted for potentially yielding valuable intelligence on the whereabouts of senior Hamas leaders and involved the capture of a "high-value terrorist."
