Israeli troops arrest Hamas spokesman
 Israeli forces detained on Sunday the information spokesman of the Islamic group Hamas in the city of Jenin, Abdel Baset Al-Hajj, according to witnesses. They said the troops surrounded Al-Hajj's house before snatching him along with another Palestinian, named Abdel Jabbar Jarar, who was also in the house.
| I initially read that name as "Abdel Jabber Jabber," and thought to myself, "Hell, he shoulda been the spokesman!" |
The witnesses also reported that Israeli special troops, posing as Arabs, burst into a building used by Hamas, and that later, military re-inforcements were brought to the scene of the operation.
| "Bring up the tanks, Moshe!" |
Medical and security sources reported earlier today that an armed Palestinian was killed and another was wounded with Israeli fire east of the town of Khan Yunis in the West Bank late on Saturday. The sources added that Israeli troops based on the eastern border of the West Bank opened fire on armed members of the Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, the Fatah Movement Military Wing, killing a Palestinian and injuring another.
