| IDF officer who strayed into Jenin gets 28 days |
| 2007-08-30 |
| The IDF officer who accidentally entered Jenin on Monday and narrowly escaped a lynching was sentenced to 28 days in prison on Wednesday. He was tried before deputy Central Command head Brig.-Gen. Motti Iloz. OC Central Command Maj.-Gen. Gadi Shamni received the findings of a probe into the incident, which revealed that the officer had ignored safety regulations when traveling in the West Bank, resulting in his accidental foray into Jenin. Shamni has ordered that all regulations and orders pertaining to traveling in the West Bank be updated and transmitted to officers who are stationed in Judea and Samaria. In the Monday incident, the officer, a major, was rescued from the lynch mob by Palestinian Authority security forces. The PA security officers were subsequently condemned by Islamic Jihad, which took responsibility for the attack. |

| #2 should French kiss the floor of his jail cell Not that I don't share the sentiment---but how do you French-kiss the floor? |

| #1 Each and every morning upon rising, this remarkably fortunate individual should French kiss the floor of his jail cell. He just as easily could have provided an entire crowd of eager Palestinians with a semi-conscious vivisection specimen. What's worse is that he actually allowed the PA's police to look good for once in history. Facilitating any rehabilitation of Fatah's image is most certainly actionable. |
