Israel bumps off four Hamas
2002-01-23
  • Israeli troops killed four Palestinian snuffies when they stormed an apartment building in a sweep in Nablus. The army said it killed four members of the Hamas in a gunbattle, but a Palestinian official said troops killed the men "in cold blood". The army said it found a bomb laboratory during the raid. But a Hamas leader called it a "dangerous escalation" and said the movement should reconsider its freeze on attacks in Israel. "I think it is time for a real evaluation in order to convince the occupier that such a crime will not pass without punishment," said Mahmoud al-Zahar, a senior Hamas political leader in the Gaza Strip.
    Lemme get this straight: They shoot up your bomb laboratory and you call it a dangerous escalation? So you're gonna unfreeze your attacks on Israel, that you've been carrying out anyway? What're we missing?
