Israeli special operations forces captured Moein Muhammad al Arabeed, a senior Hamas security official, during a September 1 raid in the Katiba area of western Gaza City. Meanwhile, the US-backed Board of Peace\u2019s stabilization plan for Gaza, which had led to a temporary reduction in Israeli strikes amid a tenuous ceasefire, seems to have stalled as strikes resumed recently. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and Shin Bet intelligence agency did not initially name the Hamas security official. However, Gaza\u2019s Hamas-run Interior Ministry identified him as Arabeed, the head of Hamas\u2019s internal-security apparatus throughout the Gaza Strip. Videos captured part of the raid, which turned into a firefight when IDF soldiers were discovered. The Israeli Air Force struck several nearby targets \u201cto remove threats\u201d to the ground force, and the IDF reported no Israeli casualties. Gaza health officials said that the supporting strikes killed at least four Palestinians. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described Arabeed as \u201cone of Hamas\u2019s most senior leaders\u201d and said that he was responsible for concealing and moving Israeli hostages, hiding senior Hamas officials, rebuilding the group\u2019s capabilities, and restoring its control over Gaza. The IDF separately said that Arabeed had recently worked to consolidate Hamas\u2019s authority in northern Gaza and facilitate attacks against Israeli forces near the Yellow Line, which marks the Israeli military\u2019s line of control inside Gaza. Local reporting indicated that Arabeed previously served in Hamas\u2019s Izz al Din al Qassam Brigades before transferring to the Gaza Interior Ministry\u2019s security services. He eventually assumed command of the internal-security apparatus, which tracks suspected collaborators and protects senior Hamas leaders, earning him the nickname \u201cthe spy hunter.\u201d On August 28, US Ambassador to the United Nations Mike Waltz met Board of Peace High Representative Nickolay Mladenov and said that their priorities remained to \u201crid Hamas of its weapons\u201d and restore governance under the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG). The Board of Peace\u2019s 15-point peace roadmap calls for Hamas and other armed factions to decommission their weapons, transfer civilian and security authority to the NCAG, and permit an independently verified, phased Israeli withdrawal. Israel has rejected the deal as Jerusalem insists Hamas fully disarm before the IDF cedes any territory. Mladenov said that the Board of Peace had established a mechanism for deploying an International Stabilization Force to Gaza and identified potential deployment locations inside the territory. Morocco has agreed to participate in the force, while Israel has vetoed a Turkish contingent. The plan has so far produced few concrete changes on the ground: Hamas has not surrendered its weapons or transferred governing authority, the NCAG has not entered Gaza, and only a small number of foreign personnel have arrived to prepare for the stabilization force. The IDF reported dozens of strikes and ceasefire violations between August 19 and September 3: On August 19, the IDF said that it struck a Hamas platoon commander in Nuseirat who had infiltrated Israel during the October 7 massacre.

At least four members of Hamas\u2019s military wing and one Popular Resistance Committees member were present at the station and had used it \u201cto advance terror plots against IDF forces,\u201d according to the Israeli military. On August 21, the IDF said that it killed Zuhayr Sami Mahmoud al Shahat, a Hamas platoon commander who had infiltrated Israel during the October 7 massacre and participated in holding several hostages.
