Israel Matzav

A good, old fashioned car swarm with video

The IAF targeted two members of the Global Jihad on Tuesday night, and wounded eight others. Here's the IDF spokesperson.

A short while ago, in a joint IDF-ISA operation, a squad affiliated with recent terror activity was targeted in the Gaza Strip.

The IDF will not tolerate any attempt to harm Israeli civilians and IDF soldiers, and will operate against anyone who uses terror against the State of Israel. The Hamas terror organization is solely responsible for any terrorist activity emanating from the Gaza strip.

UPDATE: Following the targeting of a Global Jihad affiliated-terrorist and an additional member, in a joint IDF-ISA activity, IAF aircraft targeted an additional terrorist squad affiliated with the Global Jihad terror movement, in the northern Gaza Strip. The squad was previously known to the IDF due to its attempt in carrying out a terror attack on the Israel-Egypt border. A direct hit was confirmed.

The terrorist squad included: Rami Daoud Jabar Khafarna, born 1984, a Global Jihad-affiliated terrorist from Jabalia. Khafarna is a former member of the Hamas military wing who is known to have taken part in firing rockets at Israel; Hazam Mahmad Sa’adi Al-Shakr, born 1985, a Global Jihad-affiliated terrorist from Beit Hanoun, is a former member of the Hamas terror organization. He has planted and detonated explosive devices against IDF soldiers, along the border with the Gaza Strip.

JPost adds:

Hamas identified the man killed in the earlier strike as Abdullah Telbani, an operative of Islamic Jihad's Saraya Al-Quds wing in his 20s. Two other Palestinians were also injured in the attack when the explosion ripped through their tuk tuk, a motorized rickshaw, according to medics in the Strip. They were taken to Amal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.

YNet adds:

Shortly afterwards, a Qassam rocket was fired from northern Gaza at Israel. The projectile exploded on the Palestinian side of the border.

...

The PA's Maan news agency reported that an Israeli military aircraft targeted a car driving in the center of Gaza City on Tuesday night, injuring at least eight people, who were rushed to the Strip's Shifa Hospital. Two of the injured are said to be in critical condition.

Finally, let's go to the videotape.



The Gazans have mellowed. In the old days, they would pick up body parts and wave them screaming "Allahu Akhbar." Perhaps they're getting tired of this? We can dream, can't we?
