IDF kills terrorists from August 31 attack

Early Friday morning, the IDF killed the two terrorists who carried out the August 31 terror attack in which four Israelis were murdered near Hebron (I mentioned this in the middle of another post on Friday, but some of you might have missed it). I have it on video for you.

Let's go to the videotape.



Here's more:

Overnight, a joint IDF-ISA-Border Police arrest operation took place in Hebron. The objective of the operation was to arrest those involved in the terror attack on August 31st, 2010 in which four Israelis were killed: Yizhak and Talia Aimes, Avishai Shindler, and Kochba Even-Chaim.

During the operation, the wanted terror suspects opened fire at the IDF force, which then returned fire and identified hitting one of the suspects.

Another suspect hid in a building which the force surrounded, calling on him to surrender. The suspect refused to do so and opened fire at the forces. During the exchange of fire, forces employed engineering tools in order to cause him to exit the building. The terrorist was ultimately killed.

In addition, six other terror suspects were arrested and transferred to the custody of security forces and a number of AK-47 assault rifles were discovered.

Four Israeli civilians were murdered August 31st, 2010 while driving in their vehicle in a terrorist drive-by shooting attack on Route 60 near Qiryat Arba, east of Hebron. Two men and two women, one of whom was pregnant, from the nearby community of Bet Hagay, were the victims of this deadly attack. Their names were Yizhak and Talia Aimes, Avishai Shindler and Kochba Even-Chaim.
