Ministro da Defesa de Israel afirma que membro sênior do grupo armado palestino Hamas foi capturado.
Israel Katz was speaking after reports of a raid by Israeli special forces and an Israel-backed Palestinian militia in Gaza City.
Ataques aéreos israelenses, no mesmo momento, mataram pelo menos duas crianças e uma mulher, dizem médicos locais.
Uma terceira criança foi morta em um incidente separado no centro da Gaza.
The Israeli defence minister did not say who had captured the Hamas commander, whom he did not identify.
But after meeting Israelis living in Netiv HaAsara, next to northern Gaza, Katz said the activity of Israeli forces in the territory "continues at all times.
Há pouco tempo, um terrorista sênior do Hamas foi preso – e esta é a nossa política: não esperamos por ameaças, mas perseguimos terroristas do Hamas, frustramos e destruímos suas infraestruturas de terror," ele acrescentou.

Videos captured chaotic scenes, with the sound of gunfire and the aftermath of strikes.
Reports say that Israeli special forces and pro-Israeli Palestinian militiamen had entered the area, but their presence was discovered. Some Israeli media suggest that only a local armed militia operated on the ground.
Uma fonte de segurança palestina informou à BBC que o alvo da operação israelense era um alto funcionário do serviço interno de segurança do Hamas.
A spokesman for Gaza's Hamas-run government media office, Ismail al-Thawabta, said: "An Israeli special forces unit attempted to carry out a security operation in Gaza City, but the unit was exposed while carrying out the mission.
Os ataques israelenses subsequentes 'resultaram na morte de várias pessoas e em outras feridas, além das mortes de vários membros da unidade de forças especiais', acrescentou.
The Israeli military has only confirmed striking several targets in Gaza "in order to remove threats" to its troops, adding that none of them were injured.
Since then, more than 73,460 people have been killed in Gaza, according to the territory's Hamas-run health ministry, whose figures are considered reliable by the UN.
Ataques israelenses matam cinco em Gaza, incluindo duas crianças, dizem médicos.
Reino Unido, Canadá e Austrália condenam Israel por recusar investigação criminal sobre assassinatos de trabalhadores humanitários em Gaza.
