| Israelis Nab Wanted Men in Another Raid |
| 2006-03-16 |
| Israeli troops surrounded two houses in a West Bank town Thursday, setting off a fierce gunbattle with Palestinian militants that left one soldier dead and forced the surrender of five wanted men. It was Israel's second strike against Palestinian militants this week. Opinion polls showed the first incursion - a dramatic prison raid that captured six militants Tuesday - boosted voter support for acting Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert before the March 28 elections. Thursday's shootout in Jenin erupted as soldiers demanded the surrender of five fugitives from Islamic Jihad and the Fatah-linked Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades. The army said one wanted man ran out of a building early during the raid, and the other four surrendered later. An Israeli soldier was shot to death. Students threw stones at the Israeli soldiers, and an army bulldozer tried to disperse the crowd. Troops took over homes in the area, fighting with gunmen. |

| #4 Why does Israel bother capturing these turds? Had they just whacked them and been done with it, that soldier might not have been killed. They're Jews. |

| #3 Aren't there reporters crawling all over the Paleo shitholes - and thus present in force when the Israelis conduct these operations? If so, and it's the impression I get from the numerous stories posted on these encounters, then that would explain why the Israelis don't just whack em. Personally, of course, I agree with you, Moose - they should. I wouldn't trade the life of one IDF soldier for the whole of the West Bank's Paleos. |

| #1 "students" throwing stones? How about "unemployed seething street rat militia wannabes". Live fire, I hope |
