DFLP wing says fighters clashed with Israeli forces
2009-10-20
Ma'an -- The military wing of the Democratic Front for the Liberation of Palestine (DFLP), the National Resistance Brigades, claimed on Sunday evening that a group of their fighters exchanged fire with Israeli forces.

In a statement on Monday morning, the group said a special Israeli unit made an incursion across the border into Beit Hanoun, and retreated under heavy fire.

Israel's army denied that the reported incursion took place.

Hey, arena football is legit! That means that the DFLP must be legit!

Yeah, thats the ticket!

#2  group of their fighters? Why would anyone join the DFLP anway since it was even an after-thought during the 70s-80s? It's like saying the NFL wanted me, but but chose to play arena football.

#1  Actually, it's pretty clever, since anyway, the main idea is to generate media signature, more than really harass the joooooos... so, why take risks and actually have a shootout that you will either lose, or don't win?
Just stay home, and phone rooters that you kicked israeli ass and drove them back with the tail between their legs, while sipping some tea and surfing sat channels to see if there's some T&A. Same benefit, much safer.
