"The new event describes a diplomatic plan to disempower Hamas and resolve post-conflict governance in Gaza. Event 15 describes a military action (capture of a Hamas official) that directly contributes to the weakening of Hamas's operational capacity. Both events are concurrent efforts—diplomatic and military—aimed at the same strategic objective of dismantling Hamas's control in Gaza."
