Close-Quarter Combat with Terrorists in Civilian Clothing

In Khan Yunis, where Hamas has deliberately embedded its military infrastructure within densely-populated, urban areas, the IDF Paratroopers Brigade has been fighting terrorist operatives in close-quarters combat situations over the last few weeks.

During operations next to the residence of the commander of Hamas' Khan Yunis Brigade, paratroopers identified a terrorist operative - who was dressed in civilian clothing - armed with grenades and a knife. After the terrorist advanced toward them and threw a grenade in their direction, the soldiers immediately identified the threat, returned fire, and killed him at close range without sustaining any casualties.

This is a further example of the Hamas terror organization's strategy of terrorists operating under the guise of civilians during military activities.
