The IDF announced on Sunday that over the last few days, IDF intelligence and ISA personnel have been operating together with IDF ground troops in the Gaza Strip. The troops conducted dozens of questionings in different areas in which ground activities were being conducted and apprehended over 100 terrorists for further questioning in Israel.

In addition, Nukhba terrorists were apprehended, as well as operatives responsible for rocket fire, explosives, sniper fire, and logistics, who disclosed the locations of underground tunnels, storage compounds, and weaponry. They disclosed operating methods used by the terrorist organization, as well as details regarding tunnel digging and the recruitment process.

The information gained from the interrogations of the terrorists serves the troops who are operating from the air and the ground in the Gaza Strip and is being used to receive precise and up-to-date intelligence from the field, which assists the ongoing combat efforts.

Last week, National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir visited one of the Israel Prison Service facilities, which is holding terrorists from Hamas's Nukhba unit who partook in the October 7th massacre in southern Israel.

Following the visit, Minister Ben-Gvir described the prisoners' conditions. "Today, together with the IPS Commissioner, I visited one of the wings where Nazi Nukhba prisoners are being held. In accordance with our orders, the terrorists are receiving the most severe conditions: eight terrorists are kept cuffed in a dark cell, iron beds, facilities are a hole in the ground, and the National Anthem, Hatikva, is constantly playing in the background."

The Minister added: "I hope my request to hold a cabinet discussion about passing the death sentence for terrorists bill, which already passed in a preliminary reading, will be answered, that the bill will pass, and we can apply it to these disgraceful murderers."
