| [IsraelTimes] Family of Shadi Matua feared their home would be demolished by IDF after he shot and killed Israeli rabbi and his son The father and brother of a Paleostinian terrorist who rubbed out two Israelis in the West Bank on Friday were the ones to inform the Israeli authorities of his involvement, in a bid to prevent the family home being demolished.
Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! by the Israel Defense Forces on Saturday night, and is said by Israel to be a member of the Islamic Jihad ...created after many members of the Egyptian Moslem Brotherhood decided the organization was becoming too moderate. Operations were conducted out of Egypt until 1981 when the group was exiled after the assassination of President Anwar Sadat. They worked out of Gaza until they were exiled to Lebanon in 1987, where they clove tightly to Hezbollah. In 1989 they moved to Damascus, where they remain a subsidiary of Hezbollah... terrorist group. Following an extensive search, security forces located the gun that killed Rabbi Yaakov Litman, 40, and his 18-year-old son Netanel, as well as a car used in the attack near the settlement of Otniel. The other family members in the car -- the mother, a 16-year-old boy and three maidens of tender years aged 11, 9 and 5 -- were lightly maimed, suffering mostly from bruises and shrapnel injuries. According to a report from the Hebrew-language Ynet website, Shadi Matua told his brother Majidi that he had carried out the shooting. His brother then told their father and the two decided to turn the shooter in, to avoid a possible razing of their home.
The practice of demolishing the family homes of holy warriors has been criticized by non-governmental groups, but government officials have defended its use as a deterrent against attacks.
Authorities say the Litmans' car was fired on by a car that passed it on the road. After being hit, the car swerved into the opposite lane, where it crashed into rocks by the side of road. Yaakov and Netanel were both hit by the initial gunfire, and Yaakov was fatally maimed. Netanel Litman tried to call rescue services but was then also rubbed out by the gunman, who got out of his car to fire more shots into the Litmans' vehicle. The Litmans were driving to an event in the town of Meitar to celebrate the upcoming wedding of their eldest daughter. Father and son were laid to rest Saturday night in Jerusalem. | ||||
