| Force 17 member arrested |
| 2002-06-09 |
| Security forces arrested a Palestinian Authority Presidential Guard Force 17 member responsible for numerous shooting attacks against Israelis in recent months, the IDF spokesman said this evening. The man, Bashar Hatib, who was arrested during the course of Operation Defensive Shield, confessed to killing several Israeli civilians and soldiers. That makes the streets a little safer... Elsewhere, senior Hamas operative Yusef Malchi, wanted by Israel, and two Force 17 members, were killed as the explosive devices they were planting near the Sufa Crossing between Israel and the Gaza Strip late Friday night prematurely blew up, the IDF revealed this evening. Another work accident. Gosh, don't ya just hate it when that happens? |
