| [JEWISHAZ] Israel handed over to the Paleostinian Authority three bodies of Lions of Islam who died in a Jerusalem shootout, in which they killed one soldier. The bodies of Ahmed Abu al-Ghub, Ahmed Zakarna and Mohammed Kamil from the Jenin area of the West Bank were given to Paleostinian Authority officers this afternoon (Feb. 5), Ynet reported. The three men, all childhood friends aged 20-21, arrived armed with knives and an automatic machine gun to the Old City in eastern Jerusalem on Wednesday. When one of them stabbed a Border Police officer, the stabber was rubbed out by Hadar Cohen, an 18-year-old woman who had joined the police force as part of her mandatory army service two months ago. One of the Lions of Islam shot Cohen dead before being bumped off by other soldiers, along with his two friends. The Lions of Islam were all on the list of Paleostinians who are denied access to Israel because they are deemed security risks. Army officials told the NRG news website that they believe the three men entered Israel illegally and are working with the Israel Security Agency, or Shin Bet, to retrace their steps. Cohen was buried yesterday at the Yahud Military Cemetery near Tel Aviv, where Israel Police Commissioner Roni Alsheikh called her "a hero, whose actions prevented a much larger tragedy." |
