| Hamas commander in Hebron arrested | |
| 2003-04-02 | |
| Monir Mari'i, allegedly a Hamas commander in the Hebron region responsible for the deaths of numerous Israelis, was caught last night by IDF troops. The IDF confirmed this morning that Mari'i was captured during an operation of elite units of the IDF during the night. Mari'i is believed to be responsible for the organization of the attack on the Jewish settlement Adora on April 27, 2002, in which 4 Israeli civilians were killed- inluding a 4-year-old infant. Mari'i is a Jordanian citizen who enlisted, trained and directed terrorists that executed numerous other attacks in the area of Hebron and Kiryat Arba, including a shooting attack on June 20, 2002. Iman Jumjum, an additional member of Mari'i's terrorist cell, was also captured. Another top bad guy in the bag. The IDF has been busy, here's a bit from another story: The IDF mounted a massive arrest raid in the West Bank city of Tulkarm on Wednesday, detaining 2,000 terror suspects and another seven men on the wanted list. The raids come several days after Sunday's suicide bomb attack in Netanya, whose bomber came from a village in the Tulkarm area, which is in the northern West Bank. Palestinian sources reported that the IDF rounded up Palestinian males between the ages 14 to 40 in UNRWA school buildings and interrogated many. Sources estimated that 2,000 Palestinians have been detained since early morning, while the IDF said it was holding seven men wanted in connection with past terror attacks. Nice work, sweep up everyone, keep the big fish and throw back the small fry. FOLLOWUP: Here's the same thing, courtesy of Hamas... Israeli occupation forces, backed by tanks and helicopter gunships, on Wednesday attacked the Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern West Bank. The incursion, the biggest since the onset of the Anglo-American invasion of Iraq, is apparently aimed at arresting or killing suspected Palestinian resistance activists. Palestinian sources in Tulkarm said crack Israeli soldiers violently raided homes and vandalized property, after forcing women and children out at gunpoint. Eyewitnesses said the invading troops came under fire from a few Palestinian fighters at the camp. The Israeli occupation army reported that at least a thousand Palestinians between the age of 18-40 were interned at the local school. That's a whole bunch of gunnies. Not as many as the IDF claimed, though. Guess that's attributable to never admitting all the casualties you've taken... In Tulkarm itself, Israeli occupation troops demolished the family home of a Palestinian guerilla who last week carried out a bombing operation in Netanya, north of Tel Aviv. Earlier, the occupation forces dynamited four other homes in the town belonging to the families of suspected Palestinian resistance activists. Israel routinely destroys homes belonging to families and relatives of Palestinian guerrillas. But they never seem to catch on to why the IDF does that... It's that cause -> effect thing...

| #2 "forcing women and children out at gunpoint," Heh, heh, Zionist meannies! Forcing the women and children out before blowing up the house. Apparently in Islamofanatic culture, it would be preferable to allow them to stay inside. |
