The individuals who work for Shin Bet (also known as Shabak or the Israel Security Agency) are primarily Israeli citizens who serve as intelligence officers, analysts, and support staff. Due to the covert nature of their work, the identities of most Shin Bet personnel are kept secret. In other words, the IDF is on the job visually while shin Bet are mostly in offices doing the research. (At least this is how it appears to work.) It takes the two groups to be successful.
The IDF (Israel Defense Forces) and Shin Bet ( The name "Shin Bet" is a two-letter Hebrew acronym for Sherut ha-Bitaẖon ("Security Service"). In Israel, Shin Bet is the internal security and counterintelligence agency, officially known as the Israel Security Agency (ISA). The most comparable U.S. agency to Israel's Shin Bet (also known as the ISA or Shabak) is the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). Both are primarily domestic security and counterintelligence agencies, though there are significant differences in their focus, scale, and operating environments. They work continuously in Gaza trying to find Hamas leaderswho have caused the October 7th attack and more.
Israel's security forces, IDF and Shin Bet, confirmed Tuesday evening that they had eliminated senior Hamas terrorist Hazem Awni Naeem in the Gaza City area.
Naeem had held three Israeli hostages during the ongoing war: Emily Damari, Romi Gonen, and Naama Levy.
Naeem served in multiple roles within Hamas’ Gaza City brigade and was a senior figure in its military intelligence. Naeem was killed in a coordinated strike by the IDF and Shin Bet on August 28 in the Gaza City area, the military said. Naeem held several roles in Hamas's Gaza City brigade, and throughout the war, was a senior operative in military intelligence and was close to Gaza City brigade commander Ezz al-Din Haddad.
Emily Damari:
Emily Damari is a British-Israeli former hostage held by Hamas for over 15 months following her abduction during the October 7 attacks on southern Israel. Her captivity and eventual release under a ceasefire deal received extensive international media coverage and became a focal point for advocacy and public campaigns in both the UK and Israel. Her mother, Mandy Damari, led a widely publicized campaign for her release, drawing attention from the British prime minister, sports fans, and the broader public. Damari's ordeal, including the loss of two fingers during the attack and her resilience in captivity, made her a symbol of defiance and survival.

Former hostage Romi Gonen, who was released after 471 days in Hamas captivity, was discharged on Thursday from Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, where she had been receiving treatment for nearly five months.
Romi Gonen, 24, was released from Hamas captivity on January 19 after 15 months as a hostage. Hamas terrorists shot Romi as she tried to escape from the Nova music festival on October 7. As a result her hand was paralyzed and it was not treated at all during her captivity in Gaza.
Naama Levy

Born in Israel on 22 June 2004, Levy was raised in India where she attended an American school. She has three siblings. Her mother, Ayelet Levy Shachar, is a doctor with the Israeli women's national football team. Levy is a triathlete and an alumna of Hands of Peace, which promotes peace among Israeli and Palestinian youth. She also volunteered for organizations including the Red Cross and the UN. At the time of the 7 October attacks, she had just begun her service in the Israel Defense Forces.During the 7 October attacks, Levy was acting as an IDF observer in the Nahal Oz kibbutz military base, which was attacked by Hamas militants. Levy's last communication with her family was at 6:55 a.m. when she texted her mother confirming she was in a safe room. Further messages sent to Levy 20 to 30 minutes later went unanswered. Levy in the Gaza Strip, barefoot, bruised, and cut, with her hands tied behind her back, and wounds on her ankles. She was filmed being taken from the trunk of a Jeep and pushed into the interior of the vehicle by armed militants while bystanders chanted "God is Great" in Arabic (Arabic: الله أكبر ). Her mother, who did not see the video until at least a day after the attack, stated that she was unsure the disheveled and bloody woman in the video was her daughter. However, Levy's father confirmed the footage was of Naama Levy.
The Hamas Gaza City Brigade was created in mid-1991, they were at the time concerned with blocking the Oslo Accords negotiations. From 1994 to 2000, Al-Qassam Brigades have claimed responsibility for carrying out a number of attacks against Israelis.The Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades are the military wing of the Palestinian organization Hamas, operating in the Gaza Strip. They were led by Mohammed Deif and, before his death on 10 March 2024, his deputy, Marwan Issa. Al-Qassam Brigades are explicitly listed as a terrorist organization by the European Union, Australia, New Zealand, Egypt, and the United Kingdom.
Though not explicitly mentioning EQB, the United States and Canada have designated its parent entity, Hamas, as a terrorist organization; former Brigade leader Mohammed Deif was classified as a Specially Designated Global Terrorist by the US under Executive Order 13224.
And yet, these countries are siding with Hamas in accepting a Palestine or them, rewarding them for their "GOOD WORK SLAYING JEWS !!! FOR AT THIS MOMENT, HAMAS WOULD BE THE GOVERNMENT OF PALESTINE, NOT THE PA. THEY ALREADY HAD THAT TUSSLE.
