Damra was identified as the commander of Fatah's praetorian guard Force 17 and responsible for the security of Abbas's predecessor, Yasser Arafat. In other words, Abbas promoted a man who commands a Palestinian terror unit to the rank of major general.

Damra was imprisoned by Israel in 2006. He was convicted of killing several people in attacks on civilians, including Americans Esh-Kodesh Gilmore as well as Binyamin and Talia Kahane in 2000.
