Hamas infiltrators wore IDF uniforms in morning raid

The Hamas terrorists who infiltrated into Israel via an underground tunnel this morning, in a raid which killed two soldiers, were wearing IDF uniforms.

They were also carrying weapons, handcuffs and sedatives, indicating the plan was to kidnap soldiers or civilians and take them back into Gaza.

Military sources say the two soldiers and the IDF jeep in which they were patrolling were not the target of the infiltration. That their patrol happened to be in the area when the Hamas gunmen emerged prevented a far worse terrorist attack, the sources said.
