Israelis whack Hamas big in West Bank
2010-09-18
TULKARM, West Bank - Israeli soldiers shot dead a Hamas military commander in the occupied West Bank on Friday, the army and Palestinian officials said.

The Islamist Hamas group named the dead man as Iyad Shilbayeh, saying he was a number three local commander of their armed wing and vowed to carry on fighting. It accused Israeli soldiers of murdering him in “cold blood” — a charge rejected by the army.

Hamas claimed responsibility for killing four Israelis last month, ahead of the resumption of peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians, and it was not immediately clear if Shilbayeh was suspected of involvement in those deaths.
But that was different, you see, he was only killing Joooz ...
Relatives said he was shot dead in his house after troops arrived to arrest him. Soldiers knocked on his door then went inside, and Shilbayeh was heard saying “Who is there?” before three shots were heard, his brother Mohammed told Reuters.
You have to be kidding. The Israelis played the old "knock knock" joke and he fell for it? He's too dumb to live!
An Israeli spokeswoman said Shilbayeh was shot during a “routine arrest raid” in a Palestinian refugee camp near Tulkarm, a West Bank town known for its militant activity.

She said the soldiers had opened fire after Shilbayeh came towards them despite being told to halt.
In either version of the story he's too dumb to live ...

He wanted to die.

He probably thinks that he can fool God into believing that he died in in a good-faith attempt at resistance.

Little does he know.
