Following the October 7, 2023 massacre, the Shin Bet and IDF created a secret unit named 'Nili' to identify all militants who infiltrated Israel and carry out an unprecedented operation to detain or eliminate them. Currently, unit operatives are operating deep inside the Gaza Strip. The security service has compiled a database of approximately 5,000 militants who participated in the invasion or held hostages. The campaign is modeled on the operation against the perpetrators of the Munich Olympics massacre in 1972. According to sources, over 2,800 militants have been eliminated in Israel and the Gaza Strip, and about 300 have been detained and are awaiting trial. Israeli security forces intend to find all participants in the attack and bring them to justice. Earlier, Kursor reported that on the first day of the attack, about three thousand Hamas militants took part in the invasion. According to the IDF, about a thousand militants were eliminated, about 200 were detained, and about 1,800 returned to the Gaza Strip. It is also noted that a few days before the tragedy, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu outlined a possible escalation scenario at a closed meeting, but his decisions did not match the concerns.
