 JENIN: Four Palestinian terrorists militants were shot dead in their car on Sunday by undercover Israeli forces here, Palestinian medical and security sources said. The four terrorists men, three members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and a member of the Islamic Jihad faction, died instantly in the drive-by shooting. They included Al-Aqsa Brigades terrorists fighters Maher Abu Kamel and Mohammad Masharka, whose family homes were dynamited earlier in the day by Israeli forces here.
The other terrorists victims were named as Al-Aqsa Brigades fighter Mahmud Sami and Islamic Jihad activist Fadi Iqbari. All the victims were in their 20s. Witnesses said that more than a dozen Israeli military vehicles arrived on the scene immediately after the shooting, which took place in the birthplace and stronghold of the Al-Aqsa Brigades.
Other witnesses said that the troops, who carried out the killings, had been dressed in Arab clothing. Israeli troops have carried out a number of what they term "targeted killing operations" in recent months, including the assassination of two overall terrorists leaders of the Hamas in Gaza. A military source said that an army unit had been taking part in an arrest operation here when an exchange of fire broke out. A number of terrorists Palestinians were hit but the source had no further details about casualties.
