| 2003-03-18 |
| The IDF's elite Naval commando unit, Shayetet 13, accompanied by a paratrooper unit, killed a top Hamas leader on Tuesday afternoon in the village of Funduq near the West Bank city of Nablus. Surprise, surprise IDF seals on land...heh heh Nasser Asida, the Hamas commander in the Samaria region, was killed after a brief firefight with troops. The army said Asida was armed with a Kalachnikov rifle. Who doesn't have one in the west bank?...this is the one his mom gave him for his 5th birthday Israel said that Asida was responsible for the deaths of 26 Israelis in the two attacks on the settlement of Immanuel and the infiltration into the settlement of Elon Moreh. The IDF on Tuesday killed another very senior Hamas man in a separate West Bank clash, describing him as "the most wanted terrorist" in the West Bank." Ooohhh must've been a big fish In the early hours of the morning reserve soldiers carrying out searches near Bethlehem clashed with an armed Palestinian, killing him. He was later identified as the IDF's most wanted target in the West Bank, Ali Alian. AKA Illegal Alian An IDF reserve soldier Sgt.-Maj. Ami Cohen, 27, from Netanya was killed in the gunbattle in the West Bank village of Rabah Marach, south of Bethlehem, near the Jewish settlement of Tekoa. A second soldier was hospitalized with light injuries. According to the army, Alian was the mastermind behind a number of devastating terror attacks including the bombing of buses in Haifa and Jerusalem and a series of Hamas attacks in the Hebron area. In all, Alian was said to be responsible for more than 50 Israeli deaths. Nice catch then...mount his head on a pike The two soldiers were shot as IDF Troops searched a building. Troops returned fire, killing Alian, but a second gunman successfully fled the scene. "I ran away successfully, while they killed my boss.... whooops, hey, put that down! OW!" In recent days the IDF has arrested Alian's parents and questioned them on his whereabouts. Security sources said that Alian, a Bethlehem resident had been sent by the Hamas to nearby Hebron to set up a terror infrastructure in the city. |
