| IDF soldier blinded in one eye after Palestinian woman throws acid in his face |
| 2008-09-23 |
| A soldier was lightly to moderately wounded on Monday, when a Palestinian woman threw acid in his face at the Hawara checkpoint near Nablus. The terrorist was arrested by security forces, and the soldier was rushed into surgery because doctors fear he may have lost vision in one eye as a result of the attack. IDF troops in the area have been on high alert since last week's infiltration of Yitzhar by a Palestinian militant, an incident which sparked a settler rampage in the nearby Palestinian village of Assira al-Kubliyeh. During the infiltration last Saturday, a 9-year-old boy was lightly wounded when he was stabbed in the hand. |

| #4 #2: Ah ha! Evidently, the Paleos do not read the Geneva Conventions. Posted by: Jack is Back! The Geneva Conventions are only for "civilized warfare", Jack. That requires the combattants come from a civilized society, and practice halfway-civilized religion and politics. |

| #3 "The terrorist was arrested by security forces, .." I dunno, shouldn't that read - was shot dead by security forces? |

| #1 Palestinian sources identified the woman as 19-year-old Sanabil Braik, a student at An-Najah University in Nablus. Sanabil’s father, owner of a local TV station, was shocked at the news. He said that Sanabil “left home as usual at 7 a.m. on her way to university, and I am still surprised to hear what she did.” Israeli security sources believe Sanabil is the same person who poured acid on an Israeli soldier at the checkpoint about two weeks ago. The soldier was lightly injured. |
