| IDF kills senior Hamas man, 2 IDF Soldiers Laid to Rest |
| 2002-12-13 |
| Palestinian sources reported Friday that IDF soldiers shot and killed a senior Hamas activist, Abed Al-Yosef Abu-Mussa, in the West Bank village of Hirbat Ibrahim. Abu-Mussa was apparently killed during a gunfight between the IDF and Palestinians, while trying to flee his home. "Jiggers! It's the cops... I mean, Zionists!" An IDF source said that intelligence information had suggested that Abu-Mussa was planning to send a suicide bomber into Israel within the next few days. Hamas supporters began gathering for a mass rally in the southern Gaza town on Friday to mark the 15th anniversary of the group's founding. That's a properly Islamic birthday present: "Oooh! Corpses! For me? Oh, you shouldn't have!" Large numbers of IDF troops continue to operate in Hebron, in searches after the terrorists who The Paleos are standing around scratching their heads, trying to figure why the Zionist entity would be doing something like that. Cause and effect are one of those Western ploys, designed to confuse the adherents of the Holy Koran... Palestinians also reported that the IDF demolished the home of Mohammed Asfara, a resident of Beit Kahal, as well as three deserted houses that provided shelter for terrorists. "My ancestral hovel! Gone!" "Dere, dere, Miz Fatimah. We'll build us another hovel, even grander!" "An' I'll nevah, nevah go hungry again!" "Well, I wouldn't say dat, Miz Fatimah..." Two Israel Defense Forces soldiers were Both will be laid to rest without large numbers of people thronging through the streets, firing their guns into the air, and demanding dire revenge... Ya'akobi was the first female operational fatality since the start of the intifada in September 2000, though 18 months ago, a female member of the Border Police was seriously wounded during a patrol along the Green Line near Tul Karm. The incident occurred at about 8 P.M. when the soldiers from the Sahleb unit of the Military Police were guarding a position near the Tomb of the Patriarchs. Initial investigation of the attack suggests that two armed militants opened fire against the two soldiers at very close range, leaving them no chance to return fire. Ya'akobi was killed almost instantly while the male soldier died a short while later. The IDF imposed a curfew on the Hebron following the attack, Israel Radio reported. Large IDF forces arrived and searched the area. Footprints, most likely of the attackers, were found leading to a nearby home, but the terrorists were not found during a search of the premises. The attack is the first since the bloody battle on November 15 in which 9 Israeli soldiers and 3 civilian security officers from Kiryat Arba were killed when ambushed by three Islamic Jihad militants.
