[IsraelTimes] Thousands turn out for Nablus funeral of three suspected terrorists, vowing to avenge their deaths; Joint List MK calls operation an ’extrajudicial execution’
Israeli leaders on Tuesday hailed security forces after a rare daytime operation in the West Bank during which three Paleostinian terror suspects were killed.
"Our forces proved today, again, that there is no immunity for terrorists," Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said in a statement. "Whoever hurts us will be hurt."

The three gunman were allegedly behind recent shooting attacks against Israeli soldiers and civilians. They were apparently members of al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a coalition of gangs associated with the Paleostinian Authority’s ruling Fatah party.
According to police, the suspects were rubbed out while readying to shoot at officers from the Yamam police counterterrorism unit who ambushed them in Nablus. Police said officers recovered two M-16 rifles.
Defense Minister Benny Gantz also praised the operation, which he called "a preventive action."
"I recently ordered that preventive actions against shooting attacks and troop presence in central arteries and areas of the [West Bank] be stepped up," he wrote on Twitter. "We’ll continue with proactive operations, prevent [attacks] and capture anyone who tries to hurt people."
The button men were identified as Ashraf al-Mubsalit, Adham Mabrouk and Muhammad al-Dakhil by Paleostinian media, which said they were affiliated with the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. A Fatah spokesperson confirmed that the three were Fatah members.
The al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades, a loose coalition of gangs affiliated with Fatah, has been largely dormant since the Second Intifada two decades ago. In a 2007 agreement, hundreds of the terror group’s members surrendered their arms in exchange for amnesty from Israel.
Thousands of Paleostinians participated in the funeral of the three men in Nablus on Tuesday afternoon.
"With blood and spirit, we’ll redeem you, o martyr!" the mourners chanted. Yellow flags affiliated with the West Bank’s ruling Fatah party dotted the procession alongside green banners associated with the Hamas, the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®, terror group.
"Brigades! Qassam! Revenge! Revenge!" Paleostinians could be heard chanting in another clip circulated on social media, referring to the armed wings of 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...
and Hamas, respectively.
The Paleostinian Authority Foreign Ministry condemned the shooting death of the Paleostinian terror suspects at the hands of Israeli forces "in the most severe terms," saying they were "executed."
"This crime is the latest in a chain of extrajudicial executions committed by the forces of the occupation," the Foreign Ministry said.
Separately, Nablus Governor Ibrahim Ramadaed called for a general strike Wednesday across the governorate to mourn the three Paleostinians.
Joint List MK Sami Abu Shehada also spoke out against the killing of the terror suspects, calling it an "extrajudicial execution against three Paleostinian youths."
"This is a serious crime that adds to the daily crimes of the Israeli occupation," he said.
He also lashed out at Israeli society for supporting the "occupation’s crimes," and the press for "accepting the army’s narrative and constantly echoing it through all media."
Following the raid, reports said Israeli troops were searching for an additional member of the suspected terror cell. It was not clear if the fourth person fled or was not present when soldiers killed the other three suspects.
According to an unsourced report in the Walla news site, officials decided to order the operation after the Paleostinians were seen getting in a car with guns and ammunition.
The report said undercover anti-terror police riding in a taxi and a car in Nablus surrounded the suspects’ car and opened fire on it. Other troops, some of whom were undercover, were also deployed to the area in case of problems.
The Ynet news site reported that Israel received intelligence that the group had been planning an attack Tuesday night. The media outlet, which did not cite a source, also said that before being killed, the cell "acted like wanted suspects, moving between safehouses."
