Eight undercover Israeli agents – who were disguised as Palestinians and had taken the aliases of a real family in Gaza – entered the coastal enclave on November 11 last year with the objective of planting listening devices on Hamas’s private communications system. However, the Israelis were stopped and questioned by a Hamas patrol unit in Khan Younis for 40 minutes and became suspicious of their answers. A firefight broke out and the Israeli operatives used guns with silencers, immediately killing Hamas commander Nour Baraka and one of his aides, Mohammed al-Qarra. Acting as an undercover agent while being a belligerent is a violation of international law. The botched operation was resorting to perfidy as the armed Israelis disguised themselves as Palestinians, which is a war violation. Their action also put the Israelis back on the brink of war as it was a breach of the ceasefire agreed upon on August 26, 2014.
