File under: Hamas

#1 Ynet has more details, along with a photo of the dead man at the link in rather nifty camouflage and holding a scary black rifle of some sort.

The dead was identified as Mohammed Ahmed Alarur, 30, from Beit Lahia. Hamada Hassan, 25, was reportedly critically wounded in the strike.

According to the IDF, Alarur was involved in many rocket launches at Israel in recent years and particularly in the past month. Alarur also served as a policeman in the Hamas police.

According to the Shin Bet, Alarur's terror cell was behind the rocket salvo that hit Sderot, Sha'ar HaNegev Regional Council and the Eshkol Regional Council on April 21, disrupting the silence of the Passover holiday morning.

The extremist Salafist cell also planned terror attacks against Israel, including a plot to fire an anti-aircraft missile at an IAF helicopter.
