He got in front of us and behind us, don’t worry. Yeah, if he gets behind you, it draws attention.

There’s an intersection, an intersection, an intersection. So do we turn at the intersection or keep going?

Straight? Straight. To the right straight or do we turn? During the operation, a passerby almost

confused her before she was completed. How did these people change her personality,

man? A little kid from our neighborhood recognized me. A little kid, our neighbor who was

with us in Shuja’iyya, he says to me, “Where to, Abu Al-Zein?” I pretended I didn’t

see him. We got on the bicycles and sped down Salah Al-Din Street, and we were

We were going up, going up Salah al-Din Street, we went… right on the left.

On the right, on the left, we were on that guy’s street. He told us like this, “You…”

“On that guy’s street, stay until the very end. Now I’m telling you, there is a wall,

and next to it a collapsed, bombed-out house, you go right into the middle of it, and you sit

comfortably, until what? Until I give you the final… whether he arrived or he did not arrive.”

And while we were on the way, he called us. He told us, “Now you guys… that guy

will be late, the one you are going to target. Either you do the bicycle…”

On the road you throw it away, you act like it’s nothing, then you gather it up and you build with it.

There, because it broke. And while we were fixing the bicycle, he called us. He told us,

That’s it, now you can speed up, because the guy has only ten minutes left

to get home. And he keeps saying, “Faster… faster.” There are people, there are people sitting

on the ground, he said to him. Now they’re sitting, he called again and told us, “He’s…

the guy is on the way, he’s almost there, get ready,” so we got ready. The guy arrived…

The guy is now at the door. He parked the car at the door, said, “Get ready, execute.”

Execute.

From be… from behind the wall… bang… the glass in front of me, and I came out

next to him. I fired at the glass in front of me, the gun had a silencer, a Glock with

seventeen rounds, and I fired eight. And the rest he fir… I fired to cover

him. And he continued and loaded the second magazine, and someone shouted at him

from above. He fired at him, I told him, “Hurry, you forgot the phone and the pistol

that Abu Omar asked you for.” He opened the car and took them. “Hey, boy…

hey, boy… stop, stop…” Right after carrying out the assassination,

The two assailants tried to flee. But contact was lost with the Israeli officer.

Right or left?

Right, right… back up, back up…

Shoot, shoot… back up…

Go back to the junction…

Man, one of them ran off. Get him, search him for me, come search

him for me. People caught up with us, I got caught on the way. They arrested

the camera operator, who recorded everything. He had been conscripted

into the ranks of Shuqri Abu Nasira’s militia for only one month.

And had been recruited and trained by the occupation for only a few days.

Meanwhile, the second assailant fled to areas under Israeli control.

These are exclusive images Al Jazeera obtained of the seized evidence.

Found in the possession of one of the assailants after his arrest. Killings

by gunfire and drones. Killers led by officers who recruit, and agents who lure.

This is one side of a hidden battle Gaza is witnessing today. Its chapters

and tools vary. An intelligence war that begins with collaboration

and ends in contract killing. And what is hidden is even greater.
