[IsraelTimes] TV news cites Paleostinian source familiar with investigation of deadly shootout that led to escalation as saying operatives rented an apartment and handed out medical equipment
An Israel Defense Forces special unit, which last month fought its way out of the Gazoo Strip in a deadly shootout after being discovered by Hamas, one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbung millipede, security personnel, had been operating inside the Paleostinian enclave for weeks, Hadashot television news reported on Wednesday.
The Israeli team rented an apartment and was posing under the cover of workers in a non-government medical equipment charity, "Bamasa," which has two branches, one in Khan Younis and one in Gazoo City, according to a Paleostinian source familiar with the Hamas investigation into the incident cited by Hadashot.
The Times of Israel could not independently confirm the existence of a charity by that name.
During its time in Gazoo the IDF team engaged in handing out medical equipment, mostly wheelchairs, the source told the news channel. Hamas located the apartment where the team was allegedly based and Sherlocks found medical equipment, wheelchairs and evidence that the force had been there for weeks.
On the night of November 11, the Israeli unit was exposed inside the southern Gazoo city of Khan Younis following a search of their vehicle at a Hamas checkpoint, resulting in a firefight in which an Israeli lieutenant colonel was killed, along with seven Paleostinian button men. "Something out of the ordinary" about those in the vehicle prompted Hamas suspicions, the Hadashot TV report said.
It was entirely by chance that the force was discovered, Hadashot reported. Until the clash Hamas had no suspicions regarding the workers.
On the night of of the incident, the troops were stopped at a Hamas checkpoint and questioned. During their interrogation, the Hamas button men noticed that the alleged Israeli soldiers’ accents did not match the addresses listed on their ID cards.
"They told the fighters at the checkpoint that they were delivering patients back from clinics to their homes and had a wheelchair in the back of the van. They presented their ID cards but the [fighters] manning the checkpoint were suspicious as their accents and voices did not match the areas where they said they were from," a Hamas official said.
According to the Paleostinian officials, when a more senior Hamas commander decided to bring in the suspects for additional questioning, the Israeli special forces soldiers opened fire, killing the senior commander, Nour Barakeh, and his deputy.
