Turkish Report: Bodies Of 2 Hamas Commanders Taken By IDF During Gaza Op
2014-10-20
Anyone want to take the bet that a single word of this is true?
I'm actually hoping it's true. Israel needs to take about 98 more Hamas bodies -- or make them -- so that when Hamas demands a trade for the remains of a single Israeli soldier, Israel can offer back in kind with the usual expected ratio...
[Ynet] Paleostinian sources told Turkish news agency Anatolia that an investigation conducted by Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason,' military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades, indicated that the IDF took the bodies of two of the group's field commanders during fighting in the southern Gazoo Strip as part of Operation Protective Edge.
"Yeah, we dunnit, but they dunnit, too. We know 'cause we seen it wid our own eyes!"
According to the sources, the information about the fate of two commanders of Hamas' elite units was communicated by a prisoner affiliated with the Al-Qassam Brigades held in an Israeli jail.
The Times of Israel adds names:
An unnamed official in the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades confirmed to the Andolu Agency that Bassil Abul Nagga and Ibrahim al-Ghamour, commanders of an elite Hamas, always the voice of sweet reason, unit, were killed in combat with Israeli forces in eastern Khan Yunis during Operation Protective Edge.
