Hamas Operatives Disguised as Civil Defense Personnel Exposed

By אדמין האתר
Translated & summarized from Abu Ali Express by baba
The story · English

Hamas is reportedly using individuals disguised as civil defense workers as part of its operational tactics, according to Israeli reports. One such individual, identified as a Hamas operative who participated in the October 7th attack on the Erez crossing, was recently killed while allegedly wearing the distinctive orange "civil defense" uniform.

This operative is presented as a prime example of Hamas's alleged strategy of concealing its militants under civilian cover. The individual was reportedly documented in both his operative capacity and in the "civil defense" attire, providing visual evidence for potential use in international public diplomacy efforts.

Israeli officials suggest that the Foreign Ministry should leverage these images to expose Hamas's alleged deception and its use of civilian infrastructure and personnel for military purposes. The report implies this is not an isolated incident, stating that this operative is "not the first and not the last" to be found in such a guise.
