| 2003-10-18 |
| JPost Reg Req’d Troops fired on Saturday at a group of Hamas guerillas laying explosives along paths used by Israeli tanks in the Salam neighborhood of the Rafah refugee camp, the army and Hamas members said. Three Palestinians, including senior Hamas field commander Tariq Abu Hussein, 39, and another Hamas member, Hussam Mughier, 26, were killed and 10 wounded, Palestinian doctors and witnesses said. nice shooting Avner! Bagged your limit! Several bystanders who came in their car to evacuate casualties were fired on by a tank and machine guns, witnesses said. "Leave ’em!" One woman in the car, Widad Ajrami, 28, was killed and her husband and a brother-in-law were wounded, said a relative Mohammed Ajrami. The car was riddled with bullets and its seats were smeared with blood and littered with shards of glass. An army spokeswoman said soldiers only shot at armed men and no tank shell was fired. On Friday, the US Embassy in Israel halted travel by American officials to the Gaza Strip and said it is reviewing security arrangements in response to a deadly attack on a US convoy earlier this week. Meanwhile in Nablus, Hamas put on an angry display Friday evening, with dozens of masked men promising to continue attacks on Israelis. During the demonstration, one man portraying a suicide bomber walked into a paper model of an Israeli bus; then a loud bang was heard and the bus was burned. Pathetic - musta been the Friday prayer skit? |

| #2 Scooter, they were probably caught in fire coming from the Paleos, and the report is just the cover story. It wouldn't be the first. |

| #1 Only "Palestinians" would be stupid enough to drive into the middle of a firefight. Congratulations, Widad Ajrami! You've managed to get yourself iced by Israelis. Your family must be incredibly proud. Sigh, what a bunch of retarded savages! I think it's time to end the "Palestinian" occupaion of Israel's Gaza, Judea, and Sumeria. Transfer them all back to Jordan, Egypt, or Lebanon. |
