News - Hamas claims capture of General Nimrod Aloni, Israel denies

The Hamas movement has announced the capture of 35 Israeli soldiers. According to Albawaba, Palestinian militants have captured a significant number of Israeli troops since the launch of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood by Hamas on Saturday, marking the largest such event in a decade. Hamas claims to have captured Israeli Major General Nimrod Aloni, alongside other Israeli soldiers. Palestinian sources report that he has been taken to the Gaza Strip. The Israeli army has dismissed this information as false. Nimrod Aloni served as the commander of the Gaza division until August of last year when he assumed leadership of the Israeli special operations unit known as "Deep Forces." It is worth noting that Israeli Minister of National Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, has declared a state of emergency across Israel as hostilities continue. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has stated that Israel is currently in a state of war.
