IDF Spokesman: The IDF and the Shin Bet eliminated a sniper from organization Hamas who planned to launch terrorist attacks against IDF forces

The IDF and the Shin Bet attacked last night (Thursday) in the Khan Yunis area and killed Tamer Hamaida who served as a sniper in organization Hamas.

The Palestinians claim that he was a "traffic policeman" and was killed in the line of duty yesterday in Khan Yunis.

Many operatives in the military wing of Hamas play dual roles in Hamas - for example police officers and military wing operatives.
