How The Israeli Spies Operate in Gaza
Spying is a very dangerous act that resulted in the deaths of many civilians.
One of the fighters who caught the spy explain his story to MINA journalist in Gaza, how they work by providing various information to the Israeli occupiers.
The source explained, he managed to capture at least two spies. It was in the middle of the night one of a spy is under a building and on a call by using the Hebrew language.
Due to the suspicious movement of that spy, Gaza militants apparently followed him and know the person is providing position information of a mosque in Gaza City, with the use of electronic tools that makes Israel knows the coordinates of the mosque that will become target of their attacks.
Shortly after the spy position is away from the mosque, the mosque immediately bombard by Israel with missiles from F-16 fighter that destroyed it. Soon after fighters chase and catch the spy and then turn him over to the security forces.
Shortly after that, the fighters capture another one of his fellow spies in the other position not far from the first spy.
Both of these spy were working in some areas in Gaza City by providing information to the Israelis about the accurate information on the position of the fighters or the homes of the leaders of the resistance movement in Gaza.
Their action is quite dangerous, because many civilian casualties were killed by their actions. The execution, that is carried out by security forces in Gaza in front of the general public, was aimed to provide a deterrent effect against the agency and the citizens of Gaza who could be tempted to become spies.(L/P008/P3)
