A senior commander in Hamas's elite commando unit has handed himself over to Israel, according to sources inside Gaza cited by Channel 2.
Reports of his surrender to Israel have been circulating in Gaza ever since the commander - a member the elite "Nahba" unit of Hamas's military wing, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades - went missing several days ago.
The Nahba spearheads Hamas's tunnel warfare capabilities, and is specifically tasked with capturing IDF soldiers.
The missing commander is reportedly from Khan Younis in southern Gaza, and the son of a prominent judge on Hamas's Sharia religious court.
According to Channel 2, a number of different "versions" of his disappearance are making the rounds in Gaza.
Hamas, for its part, maintains he was captured by Israeli security forces, who have nabbed a number of (generally more junior) Hamas operatives involved in tunnel digging over the past several months.
But other sources say he told his family he was going for a hike and would return by evening - only to cross over the border into Israel.
Either way, capturing such a senior Hamas commander would represent a major intelligence coup for Israeli security services.

I bet he was at the WalMart in Texas. ;-P
If it’s a defection, his family are the walking dead.
Who would kill him?
Appalachian Trail?
“I hand myself to you, I hand myself to you, I hand myself to you.”
Gee that’s a shame. Was it the Mossad or his own people?
hopefully Mossad has sent the basturd to Allah in Hell
He shoulda left a bread crumb trail. Of course, that’s no guarantee since Hamas tells us the Mossad has pigeons as agents who obliterate the trail.
Amish agents at it again.
“Who would kill him?”
You mistook my meaning.
Not “him”, THEM. If his buddies decide he defected rather than was snatched, his family is, IMHO, in peril.
