2003-09-17
JPost Reg Req’d
IDF soldiers shot dead a wanted Palestinian militant in an eschange of fire overnight in the West Bank city of Nablus.
Bagged One
Palestinian security sources said the dead man was an activist in the Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, linked to Palestinian Authority Chairman Yasser Arafat’s Fatah organization.
Hmmm all of Hamas is hiding under their beds (or in Riyadh, getting this month’s payroll), so they hunt for IJ and A-A snuffies
An army spokeswoman said the Palestinian shot at the patrol as it moved through the winding alleyways of the city’s old market district. Troops returned fire, killing the man she said.
"Take that! Zionist Pigs! Ow...hey!"
One of the troops was lightly injured during the gun battle and was treated at the scene.
"Oooh! Shlomo! That's gotta hurt!"
"Shuddup and gimme a bandaid. I ain't as dead as he is!"
In a seperate incident Wenesday, an IDF soldier, searching for illegal smuggling tunnels, was lightly injured from shrapnel after a bomb exploded near a military force operating in the Rafah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip.
boobytrap?
Late Tuesday, four wanted Palestinian militants were arrested in West Bank military sweeps.

#2  Moral of the story: don't join an organization that calls itself a "Martyr's Brigade" if you don't want to be "martyred" in action.
