Top Hamas fighter killed at Gaza border
The Palestinian killed during protests in the east of the Gaza Strip today was Yihya Farahat, 24, from the Shathi Refugee camp.
Farahat was active in the Hamas military wing and served in Al Nukhba, an elite unit in the organization.
Farahat may have been killed while taking part in terrorist activity or while collecting intelligence for the terror group.
