Israel targets Hamas infiltration, massacre leaders
Qadr’s killing follows the targeted assassination of Ali Qadi, the Nukhba forces commander who led the infiltration into Israel.
In 2005, Qadi was arrested following the kidnapping and murder of Israelis and was later released as part of the Gilad Schalit exchange deal.
