Israel-Palestine-Jordan
Hamas West Bank military chief assumes room temperature
2005-11-14
Israeli troops killed a senior Hamas militant in an overnight arrest raid Monday, Palestinian medical officials and neighbors of the man said. Troops arrived at the home of Amjad Hanawi, 34, Hamas' top military commander in the northern West Bank, shortly after midnight, according to the accounts. The soldiers methodically and cruelly slaughtered every inhabitant of the home while laughing and making jokes ordered Hanawi's family out of the house. While most members came out of the house, Hanawi refused and tried to escape. He was shot as he tried to climb a fence. The neighbors claimed that army dogs attacked several family members. Hamas members drove through the streets of Nablus, announcing Hanawi's death over loudspeakers. A memorial car swarm funeral was planned later Monday morning. The army said it was investigating the reports. But military officials did say there had been an arrest raid in Nablus overnight and that one person opened fire on troops and tried to escape before being shot. The officials did not identify the target of the raid. The officials could not be identified under military regulations, but they all appeared to be enjoying a piping hot pizza.

#2  During these infamous "memorial car swarm[s]", has it ever occurred to Israelis that it would be a prime opportunity to drop a cluster bomb?

Also, Pal family complained about nasty "army dogs." But what if they're Israeli Air Force canines?

One less Hamas "militant" alive; my stock portfolio just went up.
