Jerusalem – A Hamas commander from the Izz a-Din al-Kassam Brigades has claimed that Israel mistook the body of a terrorist for that of IDF Sec.-Lt. Hadar Goldin during a tunnel kidnapping attempt during Operation Protective Edge last August, according to an Al Jazeera report aired Thursday.

The report, conducted as part of Al Jazeera’s “Black Box” series, allegedly sheds new light on the incidents that occurred last August in which Goldin was taken and Maj. Benaya Sarel and Staff Sergeant Liel Gidoni were killed.
Goldin was feared kidnapped but was declared in action after a Hamas attack on IDF soldiers in Rafah that occurred an hour-and-a-half after the start of a 72-hour humanitarian on August 1, 2014 – the day that is known in Gaza as “Black Friday.”
The report cites an Kassam Brigades commander as saying that the IDF accidentally recovered the body of the terrorist who killed Goldin, Walid Tufik Masud.
The terrorist was wearing an IDF uniform, the Hamas commander told the Arab news network.
Zionists gave back the bodies of the Har nof shul terrorists while allowing the terrorists to keep the bodies of their soldiers, so evil.
