| JPost - Reg Req'd IDF troops operating near the village of Salfit, near the West Bank city of Ariel, shot and killed an armed Hamas member, Muhammad Balasma, Friday morning. Following a gun battle that erupted between soldiers and armed Palestinians near the village, IDF forces arrested Ibrahim Nagi, the head of the Tanzim in the area, Army Radio reported. Earlier Friday, special IDF forces arrested Samah Barghouti, a Tanzim terrorist, in Ramallah. Security forces suspect that Barghouti shot and killed an Israeli citizen, Moshe Yohai, a month ago near Ramallah. Yohai, 63, of Ashdod, was murdered during an unauthorized visit to the Ramallah area in June. Apparently Yohai had entered the PA-controlled area for business purposes. His body was found in his truck, having been shot through the chest. A long-standing order issued by OC Central Command specifically forbids Israelis from entering PA-controlled areas. Security forces reiterated that the entry of Israelis into these areas is strictly forbidden for their safety killed a 63 yr old man? Another fabled victory for the Islamic Heroes™! |
