Hamas operative killed in IDF shootout was brother of slain soldier’s kidnapper
|
[IsraelTimes] One of the Paleostinian button men who was killed in a West Bank shootout with Israel Defense Force troops earlier this week was the brother of one of the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, fighters involved in the 1994 kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldier Nachshon Wachsman.
Ahmad Zahran’s brother Zahran Zahran was killed by Israeli security forces — reportedly using a booby-trapped suitcase — four years after he participated in the abduction that shook the entire country.
On October 9, 1994, Wachsman, 19, a soldier in the Golani infantry brigade, left a base in northern Israel and disappeared after trying to hitch a ride at the Bnei Atarot junction in central Israel. Two days after his disappearance, the Hamas faceless myrmidons who kidnapped him released a video demanding the release of hundreds of Paleostinian prisoners in exchange for his freedom. If Israel did not comply, they vowed to kill Wachsman the following Friday at 8 p.m.
A team from the elite Sayeret Matkal special forces unit tried to rescue Wachsman from the Paleostinian village north of Jerusalem where he was held, but his Hamas captors killed him as the soldiers closed in.
In addition to his brother, Ahmad Zahran’s grandfather Musa was killed in the 1948 War of Independence and his uncle Muhammad was killed in the 1967 Six-Day War, Haaretz reported Thursday.
Ahmad Zahran, 31, was killed along with two other Hamas operatives during a raid by Israeli security forces on the Paleostinian villages of Bidu and Beit Anan near Ramallah early Sunday morning. According to the army, the Hamas operatives shot up the Israeli troops, initiating the shootout. The three had also been meeting in order to carry out an imminent attack against Israel, the IDF said.
Zahran lived in Bidu and was heralded in Hamas-affiliated media as a prominent field commander in the terror group’s military wing. He had been imprisoned in Israel for a total of six years on terror-related offenses. The most recent sentence he served was for three years, exiting jail just seven months ago.
Zahran’s mother told the Safa news site that "the one who sent the Jews to me and my children is the Paleostinian Authority," claiming the IDF managed to track her son down through its security coordination with the PA.
Bidu is one of eight Paleostinian villages that found themselves surrounded by Israel’s West Bank security barrier, which was erected after the Second Intifada. The wall cut off the villages from some of their agricultural lands, leading to mass protests from the Paleostinian locals while it was being built.
Recent months have seen a spike in violence in the West Bank, with more frequent attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers, as well as gunfire exchanges between Israeli troops and Paleostinian Death Eaters.
A Paleostinian Islamic Jihad
...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah...
