A Palestinian civilian, speaking on condition of anonymity to Channel 14, described how Hamas police operatives blend in with the civilian population to avoid detection. The report, filed by Channel 14's Achikam Himmelfarb, did not specify locations or times. If accurate, the account illustrates a tactic that complicates the IDF's ability to distinguish combatants from non-combatants in Gaza. The civilian's identity was not disclosed, and the claims could not be independently verified.
