Western intelligence sources monitoring events in Gaza confirmed Monday that a senior operative from the Hamas tunnel network defected to Israel last week. The sources identified the defector as Sami Atauna, a resident of the Jebalya refugee camp who came to the border fence by himself and surrendered to an IDF patrol. The sources added that the senior operative had also made an unsuccessful attempt to defect to Israel by sea during the past few weeks. It is not clear whether there is any connection between the defection and the discovery of a Hamas tunnel leading into Israel, which was announced by the IDF on Monday.

    Wise man!! . A living man is better than a dead one. Why are the Hamas leaders not at the front line with their families. Yes they are playing the wisdom card. Which is to send the foolish ones to their grave. They may sing praise to your dead body and put your picture on their walls but this will be for a moment. Whiles they enjoy with their families (wives and children ). The families of those they call the foolish ones mourns. Wise man its good you saved your life . Let the who fail to think stay at the front line.
