IDF commandos kill Hamas millitary commander in Gaza
2003-02-17
The head of the Hamas military wing in the Gaza Strip was shot, seriously wounded and captured by IDF commandos in the Gaza Strip on Monday morning, He later died in the Soroka Hospital in Be'er Sheva.
He will be missed. Not much, but he'll be missed. By his Mom. Maybe...
According to the army Riad Abu-Zeid was caught by troops in the El Bureij refugee camp. The soldiers set up a surprise roadblock and tried to pull Abu Zeid out of his vehicle. Abu-Zeid whipped out a rod pulled out a weapon and was shot in the head by the troops. The Army said their intention had been to capture Abu-Zeid, not kill him.
"Oops. My bad!"
Abu Zeid took over from Muhammad Deif who was seriously wounded by an IAF missile raid on the Gaza Strip a few months ago.
Cute. When his car was zapped, the Paleos said Deif wasn't seriously wounded, only umpteen bystanders. Seems they don't regard a extensive maiming as serious. Being the military head of Hamas is getting to be a dangerous job. Heh heh.
