Israeli army kills Islamic Jihad leader

by AL Jazeera (repost)
Three Palestinians have been killed by Israeli soldiers, including a top Islamic Jihad fighter, during an incursion into the northern West Bank town of Qabaty.
The military said it entered the Palestinian town on Tuesday morning in an operation to arrest a senior member of the Islamic Jihad group.

Morwah Kamil, 25, head of the Islamic Jihad military wing in Jenin, was killed in a lengthy gun battle that erupted after Israeli troops entered the town of Qabaty, near Jenin, in an arrest raid, witnesses said.

The Israeli army confirmed Kamil was the object of the raid.

The gunfight broke out when the senior leader and other fighters holed up in a house was surrounded by Israeli soldiers.

Israeli occupation forces brought a military bulldozer into Qabaty and started demolishing the house.

Curfew

An Israeli military helicopter hovered overhead during the operation.

In response to the clashes, Israeli occupation forces imposed a curfew in Abu al-Rub - a neighbourhood in Qabaty - and surrounded a house where they suspected Mrawwih Kmail, the leader of al-Quds Brigades to be hiding, Aljazeera correspondent Ali al-Sumodi reported.

Nasser Zakarneh, a 23-year-old civilian, was also killed on Tuesday by Israeli soldiers who opened fire in an operation to arrest fighters from Islamic Jihad, witnesses and medics said.

Aljazeera reported Zakarneh died from three bullets to his chest.

Israeli military sources said a soldier was also shot and wounded in the clashes in Qabaty. Five other Palestinians were also injured during the operation.

Israeli forces also arrested five Palestinians before ending the military operation in the area.

Occupation forces also opened fire at ambulances in the area, the correspondent said.

More than 20 Israeli military vehicles were deployed in Qabaty.

The military occupied some citizens' homes while snipers opened fire at citizens, the correspondent added.

Rocket attacks

In another attack, Palestinian fighters in the Gaza Strip fired at least three makeshift rockets at an Israeli border town on Tuesday, damaging an apartment building but causing no serious casualties, the Israeli army said.

An army spokeswoman said two Sderot residents were treated for shock after a rocket hit their building.

Hamas' military wing, the Izz al-Din al-Qassam Brigades claimed responsibility for the salvo on Sderot, calling it a response to a confrontation between Israeli police and Palestinians at al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem on Monday.

"Any harm that befalls al-Aqsa mosque will mean an open, fierce war in all of our land of Palestine, and by all means," the Hamas military wing said in a statement.

Also on Tuesday, a Palestinian was killed by Israeli fire in Tal Zarab area, south of the Rafah refugee camp in the Gaza Strip, Palestinian medical sources said.

The Israeli soldiers who shot him were positioned on observation towers along the border between Palestinian and Egyptian territories south of Gaza Strip, the sources added.

The Israeli army and Palestinian ambulance vehicles coordinated the transfer his body from the place where he was shot.

Another one bites the dust...one less obstacle to peace

QABATIYA, West Bank, June7 , 2005 (IslamOnline.net & News Agencies) – Israeli occupation forces killed three Palestinians on Tuesday, June7 , during separate military offensives in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, dealing another blow to a fragile ceasefire observed by the Palestinian resistance factions.

Mraweh Khaled Kamil, a local leader of the Islamic Jihad's military wing in Jenin, and Nasser Zakarneh, a 23 -year-old unarmed Palestinian policeman, were gunned down by Israeli forces during an incursion into Qabatiya town, near Jenin, Agence France Presse (AFP) said.

Palestinian residents and medics said Israeli forces encircled a house during the operation and exchanged fire with armed Palestinians holed up inside.

The occupation army called in reinforcement and had one of its bulldozers raze the house to the ground.

Nine Palestinian civilians were also wounded in the Israeli raid, Palestinian sources told AFP.

Israeli military sources said the offensive was staged in hunt of members of the Islamic Jihad, adding one solider was lightly hurt during in the process.

Following the Israeli raid, hundreds of Palestinians marched through downtown Jenin chanting "revenge, revenge," after the body of the Jihad leader was brought to hospital.

Few hours before the Qabatiya operation, Israeli forces gunned down a Palestinian in the Rafah area of the southern Gaza Strip, Palestinian and Israeli sources said.

Israeli military sources said the man was shot dead by Israeli soldiers in the early hours on the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt.

The latest deaths raised to4 , 765the number of people killed since the September 2000 launch of the Palestinian Intifada, including3 , 703Palestinians, according to an AFP tally.

The aggressions were the latest Israeli violations of the ceasefire agreed to by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and Israeli Premier Ariel Sharon at a landmark summit in Egypt February8 .

Palestinian resistance factions, which have been observing a de facto ceasefire, agreed last month in Cairo to extend the truce until the end of the year.

"Wisdom"

The raids came only few hours after Egypt urged the Israeli government to recognize the "great wisdom" shown by the Palestinian factions in respecting the de facto truce.

"Under Abbas's leadership, the Palestinians were an active partner capable of making peace and abiding by it in a way that would achieve the aim of the establishment of an independent Palestinian state," President Hosni Mubarak's spokesman Suleiman Awad told reporters after summit talks with King Abdullah II of Jordan Monday.

He urged the Israeli government to give the Palestinian leader greater acknowledgement for the progress he had made in restructuring Palestinian institutions and security organs since his election in January.

"Impractical"

Egypt, the first country to sign a peace treaty with Israel, also warned Tel Aviv not to ask too much from the Palestinian leader, describing repeated demands to disarm the Palestinian factions as "unrealistic and impractical", AFP said.

"Abu Mazen (Abbas) does not have a magic wand to implement the demands being made of him," Awad said.

"Demanding of Abu Mazen that he dismantle the infrastructure of Palestinian groups is unrealistic and impractical."

The Egyptian spokesman questioned how the Israeli government could expect the Palestinian leadership to comply with the Israeli demands when Tel Aviv is adopting a softly-softly approach with Jewish settlers opposed to its plans to withdraw from the Gaza Strip and four West Bank outposts this summer.

"All of us are aware of the meticulous care with which the Israeli government is handling Jewish settlers in Gaza and the West Bank who are rejecting implementation of the Israeli withdrawal plan," said Awad.

"Israeli is acting in such a calculated way to avoid sliding into confrontation with them.

"If this is how Israel behaves, how can it then turn round and ask Abu Mazen to get bogged down in a confrontation with the Palestinian organizations?"

How sad that this person believes that Isreali murders are the road to peace. Wow. Are you really that far gone in your indoctrination? That doesn't look like peace to me, nor to the outside world. It looks like what it is a fascist, racist, military occupation over a ghetto. Looks like, feels like WW2 except the miltary this time have different uniforms and a different religion, but frankly the same ideology. "This land is mine, and I am better than you..." This will only end in death and bloodshed. True peace comes in recogizing the humanity and "God" in everyone and extending compassion, not violence.

It doesnt relaly matter what you think of them if this attack is seen by other Palestinian groups as breaking the ceasefire. Whether it was justified or not justfied, whether Islamic Jihad and Hamas are good or bad... it doesnt really matter since the effects of this are broader than this incident and broader than just the conflict in Israel (groups like Hezb Allah afterall are very close politically as well as ideologically to the main groups in the UIA which won the Iraqi elections a few months ago).

Why are indymedia "peace activists" ok with muslim countries having official state religions and bias in favor of muslims over non-muslims, but angry and furious that jews, who have been thrown around the world for a few thousand years until they finally flocked together to form a homeland, put their own interests ahead of others - mostly for SURVIVAL reasons...

WHy is it ok with the left for muslims to dominate 99% of the middle east, but they are FURIOSU and OBSESSED with discrediting israel?

It's antisemitism, that's why.

The Jews are a People. It isn't about "racism" or "supremecy."

The same leftist scumbags who ignore antisemitism that is similar to what caused the need for israel to exist in the first place are the people who criticize israel for existing in a manner that makes it a jewish state

"The Palestinian people are *victims* of Euro-American colonialism"

"palestinian" people are victims of Arab expansionism, racism and apartheid. They've been maintained as "refugees" unlike any other people on the planet. They are the only refugees in history to NEVER be resettled. The racist UN has a special branch just for them, to make certain they remain as "refugees". Unlike any other people, a palestinian refugee is someone who claims to be a palestinian, along with all of the children he will ever have in perpetuity. The world's longest running welfare scam. Ever wonder why palestinians CHOOSE to live in Israel instead of among their arab brothers and why they're not "refugees"?

"Ever wonder why the three quarters of a million who were driven out by the terrorism of Zionist ethnic cleansers don't return to the homes that were stolen from them"

The palestinians who fled were hoodwinked by their arab brothers. All the arabs wanted was their land, so they convinced them to leave. Then, after the arab nations captured some of the palestinian land, they locked them into "refugee" camps and annexed their territory. those who stayed and didn't listen to the arab lies enjoy a higher standard of living and more freedom then they would if they lived among their arab brothers in Dictatorships, Monarchies anTheocracies.

Israel won the wars and got the land.

Israel gave the entire sinai back to egypt when egypt showed it would be peaceful.

If palestinians ever stop attacking israel, israel might hand some land over to them. But the longer it takes, the smaller that amount of land will be.

(1.) This is, quite simply, untrue. They fled Zionist extermination squads after seeing their Arab brothers and sisters slaughtered at places like Dair Yasin, Baldat al-Shaikh, Yehiday, Khisas, Qazaza, Naser al-Din, Tantura, Beit Daras, Lydda, Dawayma, Houla, Salha, etc.

Had the Arab states to which they fled resettled them, it would have been an act of collaboration with ethnic cleansers, a war crime.

(2.) Even if it were true, which it most definitely is not, so what? That still wouldn't excuse the State of Israel's crime of refusing to allow these people to return to their homes. These people are *victims* of Zionist ethnic cleansing, and until justice is done them, there will be no peace, nor should there be.

by Thinker
Theres so much hateful silliness (an Indybay specialty) on this site, that its hard to know where to begin. As far as history, "Palestine" was a name inflicted upon Judea by the Romans and intended as punishment and part of the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the land. Note that there were no Arabs in that story .
When Syria was threatened by Islamic Militants in 1982, Syria called in an Air Force strike against the city of Hama, killing tens of thousands. Compare that to a targeted killing. It seems forgotten like the snipers of Deir Yassin because Israel is held to a unique and different standard than any other country.
As to what does the word "Palestine"mean, it was a rough geographical designation until the British decided to call their Mandate that (rather than "Judea" or "Israel"). 2/3rds of Palestine was arbitrarily cut off of Palestine by the British as a payback to one Arab family, thus forming Jordan and the monarchy. So when the phrase "West Bank" is used, remember that is the Jordanian designation for the land West of the Jordan river, rather than the traditional names of Judea and Samaria.
Why did Arabs seek to migrate to this area during the 1800's? Sharecroppers often are compelled to migrate in search of a better situation. Alot of folks were running from Mohammed Ali's military draft in Egypt. These were not the heirs of the 7th century Arab conquerors. By the late 1800's Ottoman rule had de-populated the area as photos from that time illustrate.
As far as the recent court decision, that was a no brainer as the land discussed had never been legally annexed as, for instance, California was annexed by the US.
There's huge amounts of historic detail that remains true although in direct contravention to the myths spread by enemies of Israel and Indybay.

"Zionist extermination squads"? And a rag tag bunch of poorly armed Jews, many just out of the German camps in Europe or the British camps in Cyprus, manged to so terrify all those Arabs into leaving, despite the backing of the fully armed armies of 5 Arab nations?

To allocate land tenure on the basis of ancestry is racist by definition. Zionist ideology is nothing but a recycled version of the Nazis' "blood and soil" ethos. Zionists are nothing but a Jewish version of Nazis. The only difference between Nazis and Zionists are the name of the ethnic group. A racist is a racist is a racist. The only just solution is a single, secular, egalitarian society in which it makes no difference who your mother was or what name, if any, you use for deity.

between a Jewish state and an Aryan state, except for the name of the ethnic group. For one ethnic group to have more rights, privileges and power than other ethnic groups, is racist. It is no less racist for Jews to do it than for Aryans.
by strange but true
It is still a matter of some debate to what extent Arabs replaced previous populations in the Middle East, and to what extent those populations merely adopted the Arabic language. However, the prevailing view of historians is that most of the population remained the same; the significant number of loanwords from earlier languages (Aramaic in the Fertile Crescent, Coptic in Egypt, Berber in the Maghreb), the retention of earlier cultural customs (especially well-documented for Egypt among the fellahin , but notably including sizable Christian communities throughout the area), and the relatively small population of Arabia all point to a continuity with the earlier population. The medieval North African sociologist Ibn Khaldun strongly argued for continuity, considering the Arabization of these populations to be a result of their imitating their rulers. Interestingly, in his time, the word "Arab" referred only to Bedouin and their direct descendants, and was not applied to city dwellers and farmers even if they had come to speak Arabic.
...
As genetic techniques have advanced, it has become possible to look directly into the question of the ancestry of the Palestinians. In recent years, many genetic surveys have suggested that Jews and Palestinians (and in some cases other Levantines) are genetically closer to each other than either is to the Arabs of Arabia or to Europeans

http://www.biologydaily.com/biology/Palestinian
by not true
""Palestine" was a name inflicted upon Judea by the Romans and intended as punishment and part of the ethnic cleansing of Jews from the land"

Palestine (Filasteen فلسطين) has been the Arabic name of the region since the earliest medieval Arab geographers (adopted from the then-current Greek term Παλαιστινη (in Latinised form: Palaestina), first used by Herodotus, itself derived ultimately from the name of the Philistines), and "Palestinian" (Filasteeni فلسطسيني) was always a common nisba adopted by natives of the region, starting as early as the first century after the Hijra (eg `Abdallah b. Muhayriz al-Jumahi al-Filastini[17], an ascetic who died in the early 700's.) However, the Palestinians, like most Arab nationalities, have come to view themselves as primarily Palestinians (rather than as primarily Arabs, or Syrians, or denizens of a particular town) mostly in the past century. Whereas European and to a lesser extent Ottoman colonialism was the main spur in forming national identities and borders elsewhere, the main force in reaction to which Palestinian nationalism developed was Zionism. One of the earliest Palestinian newspapers, Filastin founded in Jaffa in 1911 by Issa al-Issa, addressed its readers as "Palestinians"[18].
http://www.biologydaily.com/biology/Palestinian

In terms of the Romanas naming it that to punish the inhabitants, that could be true (although I cant find any reference to it) but while they did expell many Jews from the area they didnt ethnically cleanse it since the region remained majority Jewish for quite some time after that. As can be seen from recent attempts to genetically trace populations, both European Jews and Palestinians have common ancestry in the population that the Romans attacked. There has been a continual Jewish presence in the region for the past 2000 years with decreases when many Jews became Christians under Roman/Byzantine rule and many became Muslim under Arab/Turkish rule (Palestinians may be called Arabs today since they speak Arabic but the change in language was the result of the long period of rule by Islamic states that spoke Arabic and most Palestinians have more ancestry among the biblical Jews than among the Arabs of Arabia)

You mean like the Irgun and the Stern Jewish terrorist groups (who sometimes tried to reach out and quid pro quo downright *collaborate* with the Nazis), headed by such future prime ministers of Israel like Menachim Begin and Itzhak Shamir? --
who were once internationally wanted terrorists after WWII. Well organized -- not ragtag and poorly armed, and whose leaders were not all just out of German concentration camps -- groups that attacked British police stations in Palestine, killed British soldiers and policemen (once kidnapped two British soldiers, tortured, lynched them, and put an explosive booby-trap in the ground under their hanging bodies), attacked and assassinated even leading UN personnel, blew up a 12-story hotel in Jerusalem killing over 100 people, purposedly attacked and massacred Palestinian CIVILLIANS in towns like Deir Yassin to scare the Palestinian CIVILLIAN population in other area into fleeing for their lives, and also Jewish terrorists who later bombed US diplomatic facilities in Eypt, who even bombed *Jewish* neighborhoods (posed as Arabs) in Arab countries in order to scare Jews there into fleeing to Israel. Jews who also had a well-organized and well-armed underground military (the Haganah, the precursor to the IDF) to further terrorize the Palestinians who had no such army.

In fact, of about a half-dozen wars, Israel started *EVERY* war it had against neighboring Arabs -- starting with Israel's 1948 labensraum war (oops, I mean war of expansion, as most of Israel's wars have been) -- except for the 1973 war which Egypt launched to try to get back territory that Israel stole from it in Israel's 1967 pretext war, where Israel not only massacred scores (maybe many 100,'s) of disarmed Egyptian prisoners in the desert, but also (in an effort to cover up Israeli atrocities) attacked (which Israel was going to blame on the Arabs) the USS Liberty surveillance ship killing many US sailors onboard (or in the water) and nearly sinking the ship with Israeli fighter aircraft missiles/torpedos and machine guns.

Non-Thinker -- with his typical Zionist lies -- tries to make the "woe is me, the poor little *always* victim" Zionists look poorly armed and ragtag, but then tries to play up "the *fully* *armed* armies of the 5 Arab nations" (as opposed, I guess, to 'an *un*-fully *un*-armed army'). Of course, the Zionist propaganda story of a wee little David always fighting off "the fully armed armies" of all the Arab nations has been time-worn propaganda of Zionist Jews. But time-worn propaganda are what Zionist Jews revel and wallow in like pigs in the mud.
