Start of the Paleo Civil War? Shanab helizapped
JPost - Reg reqâdHamas has called on Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas to resign his office and leave Palestinian territory. Senior Hamas official Ismail Haniya made the call Thursday afternoon.
Both of whom had perpetrated (Hamas) or attempted (IJ) bombings of civilians under the "ceasefire". F*&k em and kill em Hamas founder and its spiritual leader, Sheik Ahmed Yassin, said his group would take revenge. "This crosses all red lines," Yassin said of the missile strike. Addressing the Israelis, he said: "You will pay the price for these crimes." all red lines? oh yeah..heâs a blind cleric, dosnât know how many there are... Abu Shanab and at least two other Palestinains were killed Thursday afternoon when Israel Air Force Apache helicopters fired five missiles at a car in a crowded Gaza City neighborhood. The other two Palestinians killed were reported to have been Shanabâs bodyguards. No civilian deaths = better targetting. Nice shooting Avram! Israel officials said Shanab was directly involved in planning the suicide bombing attack on the No. 2 bus in Jerusalem on Tuesday, and was also active in strengthening Hamasâ military infrastructure. Abu Shanab had been imprisoned in Israel for a period of 10 years as a result of his activities, and had admitted to being involved in planning and carrying out the kidnapping and murder of Israeli soldier Ilan Saadon. Abu Shanab, in his position as one of the Hamas leaders, was responsible for policy decisions and directing and approving military operations. good target "Thereâs no question that there is a direct link between the heads of Hamas and the terrorists on the ground," said Israeli Foreign Ministry official Gideon Meir, though he would not say explicitly that Israel killed Abu Shanab. Hamas formally called off a three-month unilateral cease-fire it declared June 29. "We consider ourselves no longer bound by this cease-fire," said a Hamas leader, Ismail Hanieh, after identifying Abu Shanabâs decapitated body at a Gaza City morgue. "that looks like his arm, but that foot, no...oh yeah I recognize that part!" Another Hamas official, Abdel Aziz Rantissi, himself a target of a failed Israeli missile strike in June, said Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon will pay a high price for the killing of Abu Shanab. "If Sharon thinks the Hamas political leadership fears assassination, he is mistaken," he said. then quit hiding...pussy Hamas had carried out two suicide bombings under the umbrella of the cease-fire, including the Jerusalem bus attack that killed 20 people on Tuesday. Palestinian prime minister said that the killing of Hamas leader undermines planned crackdown on militants. theyâre always "planned" arenât they? Hamas representative in Lebanon, Osama Ramadan, said that his organization would avenge the killing of Abu Shanab, one of its top five leaders. Dire Revenge (ver 8.7)⢠Will be ours! "The assassination proves that Israel has never been interested in peace and that Israel has never taken the road map seriously," Ramadan said. then his lips fell off Ramadan called on Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas to cut off all contacts with Israel. "Abbasâs mission is to protect the Palestinians and not the Israelis," he added. Abu Shanabâs gold-colored station wagon was driving in the Rimal neighborhood near the United Nations headquarters in Gaza City and had slowed down to avoid a large stone in the road when a first missile struck the front of the vehicle. heh heh The missile strike came two days after a Hamas suicide bomber blew himself up on a Jerusalem bus, killing 20 people, including five Americans. One of five top officials of the group, Abu Shanab is known as a moderate within Hamas ranks. The moderate tenor of his statements has often conflicted with the inciting rhetoric of more militant leaders, like the groupâs No. 2, Abdel Aziz Rantissi. Palestinian officials condemned the strike calling it "irresponsible on the side of Israel which will complicate matters." "by killing our killers" Posted by: Frank G 2003-08-21 |
