Terrorist, Disguised as a Woman, Hid Among Civilians

(IDF) A terrorist from the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade opened fire Thursday toward the Israeli community of Dugit in the northern Gaza Strip, from a nearby neighborhood. The commander of the ground force, Lt. Col. Yossi, said, "The tank at the IDF security post identified the terrorist but did not open defensive fire since the area was populated by civilians and we did not want to harm innocent lives." IDF Givati soldiers proceeded to isolate and secure the area, while calling on the residents to come out. "We began checking the people, who strenuously claimed that there was no terrorist in their houses," said Lt. Col. Yossi. During the ensuing searches, IDF soldiers identified the male terrorist, disguised as a traditional Beduin woman. The terrorist admitted he had opened fire toward the community.
