Islamic Jihad claims failed bid to capture Israeli soldier
Sources in the al-Quds Brigades, the Islamic Jihad's military wing, told Ynet Saturday that the recent week's stormy weather foiled their plans to abduct an Israeli soldier. According to sources in the organization, a recent attempt to kidnap an Israeli soldier in central Gaza failed due to unfavorable weather conditions.
Allah demonstrates yet again his preference for Jews rather than jihadis. | The soldier who was allegedly spared is an Israel Air Force paratrooper who accidently landed in the al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza. Jihad operatives en route to the landing site were unable to reach it due to floods caused by the absence of a dam which use to stand in the area, and was destroyed in a past IAF strike. The Islamic Jihad claims to have video footage of the attempted abduction, "Which will be aired in due time."
"See what failures we are!" | The botched kidnapping, added a Jihad source, "Is part of our efforts to kidnap Israeli soldiers and exchange them for our imprisoned heroes."
