| Grenades thrown at IDF in Hebron |
| 2003-12-28 |
| JPost Reg req’d Palestinian sources reported a loud explosion in Hebron Sunday afternoon. Following the explosion, IDF forces were reported in pursuit of a Palestinian riding a motorbike. IDF later revealed that explossions were those of two hand-grenades thrown at an IDF post in the Harath-al-Sheikh neighborhood in Hebron. No casualties were reported. the motorbike of Doom™ ridden by a guy who throws like a little girl In related news, settlers in the Northern Gaza settlement of Nissanit were confined to their homes due to intelligence reports of possible terror activity in the area, reports Ynet. Palestinians opened fire at an IDF force north of Jenin, at another in Tulkarm and at another in the Balata refugee camp near Nablus. In the Gaza Strip, an IDF post near Neveh Dekalim was fired at, as was another near Gadid in Gush Katif. No casualties were reported in any of these event. nice shooting, Paleos! Overnight Saturday, IDF forces in the Balata refugee camp near Nablus demolished the house of Hashem abu Hamda. Hamda, a Tanzim member, was responsible for the planning and dispatching of a suicide bomber to the Rosh Ha Ayin commercial center 4 months ago, in which one Israeli was killed and nine others wounded. He was also responsible for the suicide attack on the IDF – PA liaison unit in Tulkarm 2 months ago, in which an Israeli soldier was wounded. "rubble for rabble™" |

| #6 ... but the interesting thing to my mind is that these attacks seem really low-level (I'm sure they're not if you're being targetted!), that is, they seem really, well, cheesy, half-assed even. Guess the ol' enthusiasm just isn't there any more... |

| #5 I think much of the blame lies with his manager, Sheik Gra-day Lit-el Hebroni. He should have pulled him earlier. As a result, the Curse of the Ali Ba-Bam-Bino still haunts the Hamas Red Sox. |

| #4 'tis true that their aim seems to be crap, but the interesting thing to my mind is that these attacks seem really low-level (I'm sure they're not if you're being targetted!), that is, they seem really, well, cheesy, half-assed even. What with the 'B' team on 'The Motorbike of Doom (tm)' (love it) 'light-injury squads', Hamas totally bottling it recently (amazing what an attack helicopter can do to focus the mind) and splodeydopes pre-detonating due to Israeli wizard-weapons perhaps the Israelis will get a bit more peace in 2004 eh? Lord knows they deserve it. |

| #3 Arch - after watching my Chargers finally whip someone's ass (the dreaded Raiders) I acknowledge my error. BTW - that was just a throwaway line. FYI my sister was a pitcher on the Bobby Sox team that won the national championship 3 yrs running, and she got a 3 sport scholarship to Missouri (Lindenwood), so I know good female throwers LOL |

| #2 "...guy who throws like a little girl" If they could throw like the girls on my granddaughters' (6 yrs and 10 yrs) softball teams, there would have been casualties. Nct PC, just fact. The girls' soccer teams would have scored a goal also. The quote should have referred to a "guy who throws like a Raider quarterback." >>Arch |

| #1 Germans are good with grenades, Brits are good with grenades, so it's not the kick-ball afflication. Why can't Arabs throw? Is it the extra bone in their foot? If you can't throw it.. wear it? Deliver it by foot? |
