BREAKING NEWS: ISRAELI COMMANDOS IN GAZA REPORTEDLY ARREST HAMAS LEADER AND SHALIT KIDNAPPER

Although the report is denied by the Israel Defense Forces, Hamas and Israeli news agencies are reporting that Israeli commandos, disguised as local Arabs, arrested Muhawesh al-Kadinear a mile inside Gaza, near the Rafiah Crossing, Friday night. Al-Kadinear is the senior Hamas terrorist responsible for the kidnapping of IDF Cpl. Gilad Shalit in a cross-border raid last summer. As reported by Israel National News:

Palestinian Authority sources said the undercover soldiers were riding a donkey-pulled wagon carting groceries and even conversed with local Arabs before carrying out the arrest. Al-Kadi was working on a tract of land near his house at the time.

According to Hamas, the IDF men wore Hamas Executive Force uniforms and drove a Subaru. Hamas members first believed al-Kadi had been apprehended by Fatah members, following clashes between the two terrorist groups Friday. They said they were planning on launching a reprisal against Fatah when they learned that those who apprehended the Hamas man fled toward the border with Israel and were escorted by IAF helicopters.
