חשיפה: משת”פ של השב”כ מילכד את האופנוע של שני אנשי הג’יהאד האסלאמי שנהרגו אתמול בעזה
حصري: عميل للشاباك هو الذي قام بتفخيخ الدراجة النارية, ما ادى الى مقتل عنصرين من سرايا القدس
UPDATE: Israel HaYom’s weekend editor published this “hint” confirming that Israel assassinated the two Islamic Jihad members.
Yesterday, the Israeli Shabak and the IAF assassinated two Islamic Jihad (IJ) militants traveling through Gaza on a motorbike. According to an Israeli security source, the two had been suspected of planning an unspecified attack, probably in revenge for Israel’s murder of twelve IJ tunnel workers a few weeks ago.
A Gazan working on behalf of Shabak planted an explosive device on the motorcycle. The IAF had a drone in the sky surveying the scene and the drone spotters believed they saw an object on the bike that resembled such a device (“a suspicious object”). Once it was decided to murder the two, the drone activated the device electronically, which exploded killing the two.
IJ released a statement which concealed the real cause of the killings. It said the victims were killed in an accident as they prepared an attack. When queried, my source said he believed that IJ doesn’t wish to ratchet tensions any higher than they already are. If it admitted they were killed by Israel, this would place the group under even greater pressure to retaliate. It’s precisely these sorts of incidents which get out of control and lead eventually to Israeli invasions and thousands of dead on both sides. Last year, Hezbollah did almost the same thing after one of its leaders was assassinated by the Israelis.
The security source said he was releasing this information because Shabak’s Palestinian accomplice to murder had been removed from danger (presumably from Gaza).
It’s interesting that as both Hamas and Fatah negotiate about a unity government, with the talks recently delayed at Fatah’s request, it appears that IJ is seeking to establish its resistance bona fides (and perhaps show-up its Hamas rivals) by building tunnels and planning attacks against Israel.
With Trump’s Jerusalem grandstand eclipsing the promising news of a political reconciliation, it remains to be seen whether it will proceed. A deal was always a longshot given the animosity and history between the two groups.
That’s a mighty big crater for a device surreptitiously planted on a (barely damaged) motorbike. I think your ‘source’ needs to rethink this one.
As for Trump’s Jerusalem plans, I think we can now say that the Muslim world’s reaction to them has been muted.
@ Zionauts: One thing we don’t need to rethink is your inadequacy as an analyst of virtually anything. That motorbike was incinerated. Nor do we know what sort of charge was used to kill the militants. Israel would be quite adept at shaping the charge so that the full force hit the targets rather than the bike itself.
I can safely say no one cares what you think. Nor does anyone credit you as an expert on what the Muslim world thinks. Nor is reaction to this charade over by any means. Reactions to it will continue for months & years to come. It doesn’t necessarily have to erupt all at once and immediately after the outrage occurs. These things gestate in the hearts and minds of those affected. BTW, how many terror attacks will it take before you acknowledge the response is no longer muted? We’ve already had a number of those. Undoubtedly there will be more.
I don’t claim to know what the Muslim world is thinking, but I do know what a huge crater looks like and I know what a muted response sounds like too
In my opinion, the muted ARAB response is because the Arabs are otherwise occupied with something else. They’ve finally woken up to the fact the the Iranian Frankenstein they helped create, is now running amok in the Arab heartland.
@ Zionauts: I’m glad we cleared up the fact that you admit you know nothing about what the Muslim world is thinking. Since we now agree on that, you’ll have to excuse our disagreement about the Arab-Muslim world’s response. In only one sector is it muted, among Sunnis. Among Shia it is quite intense. But that’s the half of Islam you ignore because it holds views inconvenient & odious to you. But you can’t ignore Shia Islam. Unless you want to be labelled a empty-headed fool.
Now you’re claiming to also be an expert on Iran, which you also know nothing about.
I have a comment rule: if you emit opinions about matters in dispute you must support your opinions with hard, credible evidence. Iranophobic claims like yours are not just empty & meaningless, they violate the comment rules. YOu’ve already offered me numerous reasons to ban you. And I’ve warned you. A day will come soon (perhaps even tomorrow) when I’ll pull the switch on you.
Why don’t you concern yourself with that Israeli Frankenstine running amok in the Arab heartland??
DO NOT comment in this thread further.
