A notable event in Gaza today: A Palestinian militia backed by Israeli support raided Gaza City's Al-Katiba district, captured a senior Hamas Internal Security official, then covered its withdrawal with heavy airstrikes. The IDF said in a statement that it took Mu'in al-Arabid, head of Hamas's General Security apparatus since October 2023. However, a Hamas-linked source disputed the claim, saying only a lower-ranking officer was seized while the real target got away. Notably, Israeli officials and news outlets said the raid was actually carried out by an Israeli-backed anti-Hamas Palestinian militia under IDF Southern Command, not Israeli troops, with the IDF limited to air cover. Arabic news outlets reported the raiding force reportedly disguised itself using a bus and motorcycles before being detected and ambushed at close range. Hamas's security media frames the whole operation as largely foiled, claiming it captured three alleged collaborators and inflicted casualties on the raiders. Hamas's Internal Security explicitly told Gazans and media not to amplify what it called "the occupation's narrative." Unsourced photo of captured Hamas security official Mu'in al-Arabid and the alleged vehicle used in the raid 👇

I’ll admit it plainly: I didn’t expect this. I didn’t expect the protests to grow this fast, to spread this widely, or to draw this many people into the streets of the Islamic Republic’s capital. And judging by the frantic posture of the authorities, neither did the regime.

I am observing reports of a U.S. strike at the Shalamcheh border crossing between Iraq and Iran. It is significant because the crossing is a key Iran–Iraq transit route. If confirmed, the strike could disrupt personnel movements, and logistics used by Iran-linked groups across Iraq and beyond.

Two Israeli airstrikes in Gaza on Wednesday killed at least 10 Palestinians, including eight Hamas police officers. In Nuseirat, an Israeli drone struck a motorcycle and killed Subhi Sami Mahmoud Shahtout. The IDF identified Shahtout as a Hamas military-wing platoon commander who participated in the October 7, 2023 attack on southern Israel. Shortly afterward, an Israeli strike hit a police headquarters in Gaza City’s Daraj-Tuffah area. Nine people were killed, while Gaza sources reported at least 15 others wounded. Gaza’s Interior Ministry confirmed that eight police officers were killed: • Brig. Gen. Ayman Mahmoud Jundiya, 47, acting chief of Gaza Governorate Police • Col. Osama Hashem al-Hajin, 43, director of Gaza Governorate Police operations • Col. Fatina Abdul-Jabbar al-Sahar, 42, director of the Women’s Police Department in Gaza Governorate • Col. Ibrahim Abdul-Rahman Tamraz, 47 • Col. Alaa Ali Alyan, 47 • Lt. Col. Hazem Jabr Khalaf, 52 • Maj. Othman Shehata Abu Samaan, 42 • Lt. Samaher Misbah Hamada, 39 Notably, Israel released Col. Ibrahim Tamraz during the hostage for prisoner exchange in 2025 (picture and video below). The IDF said the Gaza City strike targeted a Hamas commander and other operatives who were planning attacks against Israeli troops.

The Israeli military said that Hezbollah is no longer treating Beirut's southern suburb as a safe stronghold and has begun relocating fighters into northern Beirut and mixed neighborhoods following Israeli operations. The military warned that Hezbollah’s shift will spread destruction beyond Dahiyeh (southern suburb) accuses the group of endangering civilians in service of Iran, and cautions Lebanese residents not to allow its presence.

Israel Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant: “Today we saw the face of evil. The Hamas [terrorist organization] has launched a brutal attack against the citizens of the State of Israel - attacking men, women, children and the elderly, indiscriminately. Hamas will understand very quickly that it has made a mistake - a grave mistake, and will pay a [heavy] price. Fifteen years ago, as Head of the Southern Command, I came close to 'breaking the neck' [destroying] of Hamas. I was stopped by the political echelon. This phenomenon will not continue. We will change reality on the ground in Gaza for the next 50 years. What was before, will be no more. We will operate at full force. I ask Israel's citizens to remain determined and to support our security forces.”

Ashab al-Yamin has claimed an attack in the city of Antwerp, Belgium. This is the seventh attack the group has claimed against Jewish and Western targets in Europe since March 9. Ashab al-Yamin claimed that Appelmansstraat, a central street in Antwerp known for its diamond district, was a target of its attack due to the street's connection with the local Jewish community. The group's messaging casts the attack as part of a broader, escalating campaign tied to the "liberation of Palestine" and retaliation for Palestinians, Lebanese, and other Muslims. --- The video appears to be authentic but it shows some signs of amateur production. It is important to examine if local reports in Antwerp have verified that an arson attack occurred in the area in recent days. Oddly the video does not provide a date of when the arson occurred unlike the previous videos published by the group. Also, it appears the group used a translator like Google Translate to publish its message in English. There is a period at the beginning of the last sentence in the group's statement, indicating a translation app may have been used.
