Hamas fella Mahoud al-Adham Tango Uniform
GAZA (Reuters) - Israeli soldiers mistakenly shot an operative of Islamist group Hamas on Thursday who had been trying to stop Palestinians approaching the Israel-Gaza border, the Israeli military said.

The health ministry in Gaza, which is run by Hamas, identified the dead man as Mahmoud al-Adham, 28,
...The Times of Israel identifies him more completely as Hamas field commander, Mahmoud Ahmad Sabri al-Adham...
and said he was shot near Beit Hanoun in the northern part of the territory.

"An initial inquiry suggests that a Hamas restraint operative arrived in the area of the security fence because of two Palestinians who were wandering in the area," the Israeli military said in a statement.

"In retrospect, it appears that the IDF (Israel Defense Force) troops who arrived at the location misidentified the Hamas restraint operative to be an armed terrorist and fired as a result of this misunderstanding," it said, promising a review.

The last round of violence in the Gaza Strip and neighboring southern Israel was in May,
...already fading into the mists of ancient history...
with hundreds of Palestinian rocket attacks and Israeli air strikes over three days before a ceasefire was brokered.
