Islamic Jihad bombs poultry
So. Yesterday, Crack Israeli troops surrounded a house in the Jenin-area village of Kabatia after intelligence indicated Elias Ashkar, the top wanted Islamic Jihad commander behind the terrorist murders of at least 40 people, including 11 in Tel Aviv last month, was holed up inside.
The Israelis were immediately engaged in what became an hours-long shootout, resulting in the deaths of Ashkar and four other terrorists belonging to different organizations, including Fatah. There were no Israeli casualties.
To add insult to injury, earlier in the day, a Palestinian Authority intelligence officer was reportedly shot dead by soldiers in nearby Jenin while apparently obstructing an arrest operation.
Islamic Jihad leader Sheik Khaled el-Batsh vowed to avenge Ashkar's death and this morning, he fired an advanced Russian-designed rocket from the Gaza Strip. The Grad-type Katyusha slammed into the community of Netiv Ha'asarah. Israeli casualties: About 30 chickens.
Yes. Thirty chickens.

Now, had there been a pig farm in the vicinity, those poor chickens would still be alive today. Goddamned terrorists!

All in all, just sounds like a good day for the good guys. Well done. Too bad about the chickens though.

Funny. Reminds me of your post awhile back. Seems the PA is incredibly incompetent in their terrorism.

There's gonna be hell to pay now, wait until the Palestinians find out that Ward Churchill secretly masterminded the IDF attack from his very own Campus Warroom and that Noam Chomsky was his warplans courier.
