Undercover Israeli Troops Assassinate Palestinian Militant

HeadlineApr 18, 2007

In the West Bank, undercover Israeli troops have assassinated a senior Palestinian member of the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades near Jenin. Israeli troops wore disguised as Palestinians and were driving a civilian vehicle. One Palestinian eyewitness said, “They pulled him out of his car alive, they pulled him by his neck, put him on the ground and shot him.” Meanwhile, thousands of Palestinians held rallies in the West Bank and Gaza on Tuesday to mark the annual Prisoners Day. More than 10,000 Palestinians are held in Israeli jails, many without charge.
