Israel Captures Senior Hamas Official in Gaza Operation

According to Palestinian sources, Israeli-backed Palestinian militias may have played a role in the operation. Hamas has denounced the capture as a "criminal operation" and a violation of the ceasefire, while Israel claims al-Arabid was involved in the October 7 massacres. The incident raises questions about the actual role these militias played in the capture, why Israel relies on Palestinian groups, and what retaliatory measures Hamas could use against militias cooperating with Israel.
