| Interview with Gaza terrorist led to morning raid |
| 2002-11-18 |
| Senior security officials said the raid on the Palestinian Authority's Preventative Security headquarters in Gaza City was based on an interview with Yusef Magdad, among other things. During his questioning, he told security officials that PA security officers supervised a series of weapons factories, which have produced thousands of mortar shells and anti-tank grenades. I'm shocked, shocked I tell you! Magdad said the PA distributed the weapons to the Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorist organizations. Further, Magdad said he witnessed preventative security officers firing mortar shells at Israeli communities in the area alongside Hamas activists. And they can't hit anything either. Early Sunday, Israeli helicopters and tanks hit Gaza city, targeting a security compound. According to Israel Radio, the helicopters fired missiles at the headquarters of Palestinian Preventative Security. Soon after, tanks and soldiers moved in, demolishing buildings and setting fires. Vandels! The Israeli forces reportedly pulled out after a roughly three-hour operation, leaving several of the 11 buildings in the security compound in ruins. The army said the offices were used to make weapons. An explosives laboratory, welding equipment, weapons, ammunition and a missile were found in the headquarters. Just your normal Palestinian neighborhood. |

| #1 Kinda makes you wonder exactly what "Preventative Security" is supposed to prevent, don't it? Oh, and it's "vandals". Last I heard, they were in No. Africa, but that was quite a while ago... |
