| Israel sez Shehadeh's successor's been named... |
| 2002-07-31 |
| Israeli reports said Mohammed Deif has been appointed new leader for Hamas military wing to succeed the late leader Salah Shehadah who was assassinated last week in Gaza. But Zahhar said these were only speculations and that the true news would be found in a statement to be issued by Hamas military wing. On Friday, Dr. Abdel Aziz al Rantisi, a Hamas leader told some 5,000 supporters a new military leader has been appointed but he did not disclose his name for security reasons. That's because they don't want to get him banged before he has a chance to blow some Jews up. If it's Deif, he's experienced with being a target, as the IDF tried to rocket his car last year. |
