Israel Matzav

Pass the popcorn: Motorcycle swarm

The IAF critically wounded a 'Palestinian' terrorist riding a motorcycle on Sunday in Gaza. Abdallah Kharti, 28, was no hero - he was a real rocketeer.

Let's go to the videotape. More after the video.



And in case you are wondering about Kharti.

Kharti, from Nuseirat, is a member of Gaza's Popular Resistance Committees. He also smuggles weapons into Sinai and Egypt for the global jihad group Ansar Bayt al-Quds, which intends the weapons for attacks on Israeli civilians and soldiers. He was involved in two rocket attacks from Gaza last month, the Shin Bet said.

In a joint press release, the army and Shin Bet said it "will respond forcefully to any planned or actual rocket attacks at Israel, and continues to hold Hamas responsible for preventing such assaults." They said 33 rocket attacks have been launched from Gaza at Israel this year.

Defense Minister Moshe Ya'alon warned Hamas, ruler of the Strip, that if it "didn't know how to enforce its authority over the territory it controls, we will know how to make it pay a price, too."

Kharti was also allegedly involved in a terrorist attack near Eilat in the summer of 2011 in which eight Israelis were murdered.

Have you noticed that the 'Palestinians' don't seem to be celebrating these things quite as much as they used to? Hmmm.
