The IDF and Shin Bet announced that among those arrested was Mahmoud Kawasme, a senior Hamas figure who was behind the planning of the kidnapping and murder of Israeli teens Gil-ad Shaer, Eyal Yifrach and Naftali Frankel in June 2014. Kawasme was one of the Palestinian inmates deported to Gaza in the 2011 prisoner swap for IDF soldier Gilad Shalit, from where he directed Hamas terrorist activities in Judea and Samaria.
IDF Spokesperson RADM Daniel Hagari issued a statement from the hospital on Wednesday, on the third day of the operation, and said that among the terrorists detained were “many Islamic Jihad terrorists, including commanders, alongside Hamas terrorists and politburo members.” According to Hagari, the operation’s goal is “to arrest senior figures alive and bring them in for questioning. Those who fight will be killed.”
At the same time Nahal brigade forces eliminated some 20 terrorists in the central region of the Gaza strip. Other forces continue operating in Khan Younis and eliminated many terrorists with air force assistance.
