Ahmed Wadiya, who played a key role in Hamas's paraglider unit, infiltrated Netiv HaAsara using a paraglider on the day of the attack. In a chilling scene, he was captured on video drinking a cola inside the Taasa family home, in front of the surviving children of Gil Taasa, who had been killed by the attackers.
