One of the three was Hazam Raheem, a senior Islamic Jihad terrorist planning to carry out an attack in Israel in coming days.



The IDF announced that Raheem was one of those parading body parts of IDF soldier around Gaza following a deadly bomb attack on an armored personnel carrier in May.



Rahim was also involved in coordinating numerous suicide bombing attacks targeting Jewish civilians. His brother was killed while trying to infiltrate the community of Netzrim, in order to carry out an attack, in April 2002.



Rahim was also involved in the launching of Qassam rockets and mortar shells against Israeli targets, the firing of anti-tank missiles, and the planting of explosive devices within Gaza.



A spokesman for the IDF said: "The IDF is determined to protect Israeli citizens and IDF forces by operating against any group or individual that carries out terrorist activity or supports it."
