Qassem Fared Jaber, 31, along with Amir Fouad al-Janadi, 22, both from Hebron, plowed their car into a hitchhiking post on Monday near the settlement of Kiryat Arba, emerged from the vehicle, and opened fire. One soldier was lightly hurt by gunfire. Troops at the scene shot the attackers and killed them, the IDF confirmed in a statement. Jaber, the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam statement said, once belonged to a West Bank sleeper cell during the Second Intifada. The cell, named "swift death" or "Eztion," was formed late in 2004 and disbanded by Israeli security forces early in 2006. Jaber, according to Hamas, took part in four terrorist attacks while in the cell. Two of the attacks failed and in two attacks, in which Israelis were killed, he served in a logistical capacity, the terror group said. The first attempted attack was a shooting on Israeli soldiers inside the Old City of Jerusalem. The terrorist’s weapon failed to fire and he bravely ran away after Israeli soldiers returned fire. Jaber also took part in an earlier attempted attack near Kiryat Arba while a member of the terror cell. According to Hamas, Jaber drove a group of gunnies near the West Bank settlement. The gunnies targeted a civilian car, but once again, their weapons jammed and they escaped unharmed from the scene. Jaber later reportedly took on a logistical role in two attacks near his hometown: a drive-by shooting near the village of Jabal al-Sanadis in which an Israeli was killed and another shooting attack near the Israeli settlement Beit Hagai, in which two Israel soldiers were killed. According to a statement from the Shin Bet internal Israeli security service, Jaber was tossed in the slammer Drop the rod and step away witcher hands up! twice for his work with Hamas, from 2001-2003 and from 2006-2009. Army front man Peter Lerner, contacted by AFP, said the Hamas claim on Wednesday "doesn’t come as such a huge surprise." "We do see an attempt by Hamas to take advantage of the violence in the region. We have seen this in several attempts to establish new infrastructure" in the West Bank, Lerner said. Jaber’s partner in last Monday’s attack, al-Janadi, had no prior criminal record according to the statement. The two had worked together in the same vegetable shop in Hebron. |
