Taysir Mubasher was a key member of the UK Government-categorised terrorist group. He was behind the 2002 attack on a school in Israel that saw five students and one soldier killed. He was, until today, the leader of Hamas's North Sector Battalion in Khan Younis, and had previously been the commander of the groups naval unit.<\/p>\n

According to intelligence sources, he also made explosives used in an attack in 2004 that killed IDF soldier Roi Nissim after a tunnel under an outpost was blown up. He also played a part in the 2014 infiltration by the group from Gaza, which saw Israel launch Operation Protective Edge.<\/p>\n
