Hamas Tried to Switch Missing Israeli with Eritrean

A few weeks after Avraham Mengitso entered Gaza on his own, Israel approached Hamas via an intermediary, asking Hamas to return Mengitso to Israel on humanitarian grounds.

Hamas agreed, and sent Mengitso over to the border crossing with Israel.

Only, the man Hamas sent over wasn't the missing Israeli, according to Channel 2.

Hamas sent over an Eritrean infiltrator who had entered Gaza from the Sinai, and tried to pass him off as the missing Israeli of Ethiopian origin.

The IDF immediately realized that Hamas was trying to pull a fast one on them, and sent the doppelganger back to Gaza.
