Hamas hit


Highly prized Hamas fugitive killed in gunfight

Elite anti-terror police commandos killed Abd el-Majid Dudin, police announced. Dudin was a Hamas armed wing leader in the West Bank and was the brain behind a series of deadly terror attacks in Israel.

Dudin was a fugitive for 14 years. He masterminded, among other attacks, an attack on a public bus in Jerusalem and a similar attack in Ramat Gan.

The police commandos, acting in cooperation with the IDF's Yehuda Brigade, arrived in the village of Dura. When they reached the house where Dudin was hiding, he opened fire at the forces. During the fire exchange Dudin suffered a gun wound and was killed. None of the Israeli troops were hurt in the gun battle.
