The IDF and Shin Bet have announced that over 500 terrorists have been apprehended in the Gaza Strip in the past month. These individuals are being interrogated by the IDF Military Intelligence Directorate’s Unit 504 and the security agency.
The statement further specifies that since the end of the ceasefire on December 1, over 140 operatives have been arrested. The IDF explained that these operatives were captured during recent combat operations, with some surrendering voluntarily and others being found hiding in civilian structures, such as schools and civilian shelters.
Of the total number detained in the last month, approximately 350 are identified as members of Hamas, while around 120 are affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.

Given that terrorists wear civilian clothes, once they go into hiding (and get rid of military equipment) from the Israelis they are indistinguishable from civilians, so the Israelis will rationally arrest all male young adults, and then try to determine which are terrorists and which are not. My guess is that the number released will not be well publicized.
