The statement by the Israeli forces claimed that the directorate is responsible for 'suppressing opposition to Hamas' rule, thwarting espionage against the terrorist organisation, and securing senior officials and assets of the terrorist organisation within the Gaza Strip and outside of it'.
It added that Israeli warplanes have bombed areas across Gaza 'dozens of times' over the past 24 hours, in addition to ground attacks across the enclave.

US envoy says he is working on plan to end Israel's war on Gaza
President Donald Trump's Middle East envoy told families of captives being held by Hamas on Saturday that he was working with the Israeli government on a plan that would effectively end the war in Gaza. Steve Witkoff is visiting Israel as its government faces mounting pressure over the deteriorating humanitarian conditions in the enclave. In a recording of the meeting, reviewed by Reuters, Witkoff is heard saying: "We have a very, very good plan that we're working on collectively with the Israeli government, with Prime Minister Netanyahu ... for the reconstruction of Gaza. That effectively means the end of the war." Witkoff also said that Hamas was prepared to disarm in order to end the war, though the group has repeatedly said it will not relinquish "armed resistance" unless an "independent, fully sovereign Palestinian state with Jerusalem as its capital" is established.
