Three Fatah thugs killed in IDF attack near Nablus
2002-05-22
Three Fatah-Tanzim leaders were killed by tank shelling near Nablus. Local Fatah head, Mahmoud Titi, 30, was killed in the attack, which took place at the Balata refugee camp. The other two dead were identified by residents as Iyad Abu Hamdan, 22, and Imad Al Hatib, 25.
Golly, shucks. That's jes' terrible. Heh heh...
Salah Sanakreh 35, who lives near the scene, said he heard five tank shells explode. He said the bodies were badly mutilated by the blast.
Yup. That'll happen...
Titi took command of the camp branch after Nasser Awais was arrested during the incursion.
They thought he had exploded, but that turned out to be somebody else...
At first it was reported that Awais was killed in the fighting, but later he was detained in a nearby village by Israeli forces.
Boy, weren't they surprised to see him! "Nasser! Is that you? Stick 'em up!"
Army forces on Mount Gerizim, overlooking the camp, fired shells at the camp cemetery, hitting the three, according to witnesses. The IDF said they were engaged in hostile activities.
And what the hell, as long as they were at the cemetary anyway...
