An old image of Sabri Abdel Aal, the senior Hamas police officer abducted early Wednesday, has been circulated by Gaza sources, according to Abu Ali Express. The photo shows Abdel Aal counting banknotes, accompanied by a taunting caption from the source: 'He was counting bills in the photo… wonder what he's counting now.'
As The Zioneer reported earlier Wednesday, Israeli special forces of approximately 15–20 operatives accompanied by police dogs infiltrated southern Gaza overnight, abducted Abdel Aal and another individual, and withdrew toward the security line. The abduction was first reported by Gaza sources. The IDF has not officially commented on the operation or the released image. The image appears to be an attempt at propaganda by Hamas-affiliated sources, highlighting the officer's previous role overseeing financial matters within the Hamas police force.
