According to the Israel Air Force, the “Nakhba” force consists of terrorists selected by senior Hamas officials whose mission is to carry out terrorist operations such as ambushes, raids, sabotage operations, anti-tank and rocket fire, sniping, camouflage and tunnel penetration. The Israeli military attacked several operational headquarters from which Hamas organised the terrorist encroachment into the territory of Israel.
