IDF Targets Palestinian Terrorists that Palestinian Authority Won’t Arrest
The IDF announced yesterday that - in yet another effort to avoid harming Palestinian civilians - they would limit their retaliation for the brutal Netanya suicide bombing to targeted killings. Today saw the first retaliatory strike for the bombing (and the first strike in over a month), an attack against Mahmoud Arkan, a commander from the Popular Resistance Committees:
Arkan played a main role in a number of attacks in the Rafah area, including rocket propelled grenade strikes against armored IDF forces. In June 2005, Arkan was involved in an attack on a construction team near the Girit outpost that killed an IDF warrant officer and wounded two soldiers...
The PRC is made up of renegades from other terrorist groups and has rejected the cease-fire negotiated by Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas last February.
Oh, and his group was also responsible for the murder of US diplomats...
"The PRC are closest to the ideology of global jihad because they don't have a political agenda other than the destruction of the West," a security source said. The PRC was also responsible for the October 2003 bombing of a US diplomatic convoy that killed three Americans.
... but despite this the State Department's pet Palestinian leaders did nothing about him:
According to the army, information about Arkan had been transferred to Palestinian Authority security officials who did nothing to prevent the continuation of these attacks.
