| IDF denies capturing top Hamas member | |
| 2007-09-09 | |
The IDF denied involvement Saturday night in what Palestinians claimed was an Israeli capture of a senior Hamas operative involved in the kidnapping of IDF Cpl. Gilad Schalit.
Palestinian sources also said that al-Qadi was involved with the kidnapping of Schalit in June 2006. Al-Qadi, apprehended together with his assistant Saqer Abd al-Al, was "responsible for the Executive Force public relations," the group said. At first, Hamas officials thought the man was taken by Fatah loyalists because of clashes taking place between loyalists of the two groups in Gaza since Friday morning. Hamas spokesmen said that only when the Subaru car carrying al-Qadi was seen leaving the Gaza Strip accompanied by helicopters did they consider that the operative had been grabbed by the Israelis. According to one account, the car traveled to Dahaniyeh airport in Gaza and an IAF chopper took the man from there. Meanwhile, on Saturday morning, IDF soldiers allegedly shot and killed a Palestinian teenager who approached the Karni Checkpoint in the northern Gaza Strip carrying a firearm. According to Palestinian sources, the 19-year-old, Ramzi Hiles, had approached the border fence area while hunting fowl and was shot by an IDF sniper, bleeding to death from a gunshot wound to his thigh. The IDF opened an investigation into the incident, but said that initial information indicated that the youth was part of a group of suspicious-looking Palestinians who approached the fence. Soldiers said that when they saw the group, they fired warning shots into the air, but did not target the youth. Overnight Saturday, Palestinians threw two explosive devices at IDF forces operating south of Jenin in Kabatia and Mutalet a-Shahida, although neither device succeeded in damaging equipment or wounding soldiers. No injuries or damage were reported after Palestinians also threw rocks and petrol bombs overnight Saturday at Israeli vehicles traveling northwest of Ramallah. Also overnight Saturday, IDF forces operating in Nablus arrested a wanted Palestinian who was transferred for questioning to the Shin Bet. | |

| #5 Zenster, The only way Israel can end the farce of the "palestinians" is to shove them out of Gaza and the West Bank, refute for all time the "right of return", and expel all Muslims from Israeli territory. Then they need to build a medieval wall or something like the Great Wall of China, man it 24/7 with EXTREME weapons (flame throwers, heavy mg, artillery, beehive rounds, flechette bombs, etc.) and USE THEM against anyone that gets within a half-mile of the wall. They also need to expand their borders about 10 miles into the Sinai, and to the Litani River in Lebanon. Keep the Golan, and make the border between Israel and Jordan the Jordan River and the Sea of Gallilee. Build a huge pipeline aboveground along the Jordan border from El Arish to the Dead Sea, bury it ten feet deep in earth, put a fence along the top, and pump saltwater into the Dead Sea until the level of the lake is maintained at a pre-determined level. Tell the rest of the world to FOAD when they complain. |

| #4 A special Zionist force wearing Executive Force uniforms Wearing the enemy's uniform. Now, who's famous for doing that? While I hope that Shalit is still alive, the chances seem rather slim for a positive outcome. If anything, this Hamas bigwig may lead them to recover Shalit's body and end this vile charade. If Shalit is dead, the world needs to know it and realize how Hamas has been negotiating in bad faith the entire time. Discrediting this gang of religious thugs is a first step in purging the Gaza strip. End this farce for once and all time. |

| #3 The IDF denied involvement Saturday night in what Palestinians claimed was an Israeli capture of a senior Hamas operative involved in the kidnapping of IDF Cpl. Gilad Schalit perhaps it was Shalit's family. Guess you'll have to "meet their demands" Paleos. Shoe's a little tight when on the wrong foot, huh? |

| #1 The Israelis must have mastered cloaking technology to stop the Paleos seeing the Subaru drive across the border from Israel. Is there anything the Joooos can't do? |
