Israel says it's captured a top Hamas official during a deadly raid into Gaza City.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu identified him as the head of the militant group's internal security.
NPR's Daniel Estrin reports from Tel Aviv.
The unusual daytime raid on Tuesday saw Israeli special forces enter a part of Gaza controlled
by Hamas as the Israeli military carried out airstrikes to protect the forces.
Palestinian officials said four people were killed, including children.
Hamas named him as internal security officer Moeen al-Arabid
and protested the deadly raid as a violation of the ceasefire.
Netanyahu called it a daring operation, capturing one of Hamas' most senior leaders.
Netanyahu said he'd been responsible for hiding and transporting Israeli hostages captured in the October 7 attacks
of 2023. Netanyahu said Israel would continue to pursue Hamas leaders and those who took part in the October 7 attacks.

President Trump is facing growing pressure to bring down gas prices with the midterm elections just two months away.
NPR's Franco Ordonez reports the White House is looking to U.S.
Producers and Venezuela for relief, but neither is expected to lower prices quickly.
Venezuela's oil reserves are so messed up that it'll likely take years before
oil production meaningfully ramps up to make a difference.
A U.S. Official, not authorized to discuss this deal publicly, admitted to reporters
that the oil industry has been devastated by corruption and lack of investment and that it also needs to be rebuilt.
