Palestinian Collaborator Killed in Bed
2004-08-02
EFL: Five masked men broke into a hospital Monday and shot dead a convicted Palestinian collaborator who had been wounded in a grenade attack in his prison cell just hours earlier. After the shooting, police questioned one of the suspected gunmen who claimed to be a relative of the victim avenging the shame the collaborator had brought to his family, police said.
"Yeah, I killed that dirty rat and I'm proud of it, see!"
It was not clear if the gunman was arrested, and the fate of his four accomplices was not known.
It's Paleostein, do you have to ask?
The Israeli military said a group of men were spotted approaching the settlement's perimeter fence and soldiers opened fire. A joint announcement from militant groups Islamic Jihad and Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades said three of their men were killed in what they called a "heroic operation." There were no Israeli casualties.
Now that's my kind of "heroic operation". More please.

#4  The barrier seems to be having an additional effect in denying the Palestinians their violence fix. This sort of "house-cleaning" will continue in the absence of other murderous sport and should easily occupy these thugs for some time as they continue to kill anyone whom the least treason can be pinned upon, which is pretty much all of them.

It's sort of ironic to see how all of these world-class stone throwers have ended up living in glass houses. Israelis can sleep easier tonight knowing that the Palestinians are far too busy falling on each others' swords to go out and bomb anyone.

#3  "Collaborator" == hero and martyr, perhaps.

A grenade attack in prison. Nice to know that serving time isn't the only punishment someone in a Palestinian "prison" can expect.

Assassinations like that of Mahmoud al Sharef, accused of helping Israel, are relatively common. But this one came amid growing lawlessness in the Palestinian territories that has highlighted police helplessness to rein in violence.

"Growing" lawlessness? Haahahahahaha, puhhhlease.
