Israeli air strike kills 2 militants in Gaza Strip

GAZA, Aug 4 (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike killed two Palestinian militants in the southern Gaza Strip on Saturday, ambulance crews and local residents said.

The Israeli military said the strike, which it described as a joint operation with the Shin Bet internal security service, targeted a truck carrying a shipping container with an explosives-laden vehicle hidden inside.

The Israeli attack, a military spokeswoman said in Tel Aviv, foiled "an imminent terrorist strike on Israel".

Which brings us to the ubiquitous car swarm.

Hamas Plot Foiled

These gangsters will never stop trying to kill Jews, they will always have murder on their twisted minds, and they need to be eradicated. Their latest effort at murder has been thwarted, thankfully.

It has now been cleared for publication that the Shin Bet exposed a plan designed by Hamas members in the Hebron area to carry out an attack against IDF troops on the trans-Judea highway.

According to security sources Hamas members planted several explosives alongside the highway and intended to detonate one of the bombs in order to draw emergency services and security forces to the scene before detonating the additional bombs. The Shin Bet operation to thwart the attack led to the arrest of three of those involved in the plot.

Plot to Kill Olmert Foiled

A Palestinian working with Doctors Without Borders has been nabbed in a plot to assassinate Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert (Hat tip: Shiplord Kirel).

A Palestinian from the Gaza Strip who works for the humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders has been arrested for allegedly plotting to assassinate Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, the Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) revealed Thursday.

Mazab Bashir, 25, from Deir el-Balah began working with Doctors Without Borders five years ago.

On April 19, he confessed during a Shin Bet interrogation that for months, he had been collecting intelligence on senior Israeli officials - including Olmert and a number of Knesset members.

Bashir met with the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine in September 2006, and said that the assassination was meant to avenge the deaths of Palestinian civilians.

Bashir also underwent arms training with the PFLP, and was picked to carry out the planned assassination.

Yes, all they want is peace.
