Breaking: Senior terrorist liquidated (with car swarm pictures and video)

Senior al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades operative Assam Subahi Ismail Batash was killed on Thursday afternoon when IAF jets targeted his car.

According to 'Palestinian' sources, two people were killed and six were wounded in the attack. Batash, IDF officials claimed, was a senior figure in the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, and was behind the imminent terror threat in the south.

Officials said Batash was also involved in several attacks in which terrorists from Gaza were smuggled into Sinai and then infiltrated back into Israel through the border. In January 2007 he organized a suicide bombing in Eilat that killed three Israelis.

Batash was also involved in several botched attacks, in which he tried to smuggle terrorists and arms into Israel. .

According to Maan Palestinian news agency, the blast occurred in a car that was parked near the Gaza municipality building on Umar al Muhtar street in the center of the city.

By the way, the al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades don't belong to Hamas. They belong to the 'moderate' terrorists from Fatah, the party of our peace partner, the 'Palestinian Authority.'

JPost adds:

The killing of Batash marks the first time Israel seemed to target a specific individual it views as a terrorist leader since the IAF took out a Popular Resistance Committee (PRC) senior commander while he was riding his motorcycle in the Gaza Strip.

Samed Abdul Mu'ty Abed was killed during a spasm of violence that broke out between terrorists in Gaza and Israel after armed gunmen carried out a cross-border terrorist attack north of Eilat that claimed the lives of eight Israelis.

The PRC denied responsibility for that terror attack.

That liquidation happened this past August.

Let's go to the videotape.
