Israeli army raids Nablus, kills five Palestinians
2003-12-18
Israeli forces killed five Palestinians early Thursday in Nablus. The operation, which began Tuesday, is directed at Fatah-Tanzim cells in the West Bank city, which Israel claims are responsible for the most recent attempts to send suicide bombers to carry out attacks inside Israel. According to Israeli reports, in one of the incidents, three Palestinian fighters were killed in a fire exchange near an abandoned building in the old city. They were identified as Jebril Awad, 27, from Ortta Village, Fadi Hanini, 25, from Beit Dajan and Majdi Fakhri, 25, from Beit Forik. The three were believed to be affiliated with the military wing of the Popular Front for Liberation of Palestine (PFLP), Palestinian sources reported. Their bodies have seemingly come under heavy gunfire in the chest and head, ripping them into shreds.
Well, that brought a smile to my face, but that’s just me.
In another incident in the city, the Israeli reports said, troops killed a Palestinian apparently planting an explosive device in the area. But, Palestinian provided a different version for this incident.
I’m sure they did.
According to Palestinian medical sources, Aladin Daawiyeh, 25, a bakery worker, was killed while he was going to workplace when the Israeli soldiers opened their gun fire at him.
"Look, a innocent un-armed baker! Nail him, Moshe!"
He was left bleeding for two hours until he pronounced his last breath, the Palestinians said.
Can’t seem to stop smiling today.
Also in Nablus region, occupation troops stormed into Asseira Al Shamalyia village and arrested Mahmoud Awad, 21, after breaking into his house. He is a student at Al Najah University of Explosives Nablus. Israeli sources said he planned to carry out a suicide bombing attack inside Israel.
How come they didn’t shoot him and leave him gasping in the dust? Maybe they’re gonna take him back and torture him, huh?
Elsewhere, Israeli troops arrested a Palestinian in the operation, and eight others in another operation in the West Bank overnight Thursday.
