In Fatah-controlled Samaria:
A 29-year-old Israeli was murdered in a shooting attack in Samaria around 11:00 pm Monday night. Palestinian Authority terrorists fired on the man as he drove past the village of Funduk, near Kedumim.
Paramedics who arrived at the scene were unable to save the man's life. The victim's identity has not yet been released, but one paramedic said he was from Kedumim. Soldiers closed off nearby roads and began searching for the attackers.
According to initial information, a terrorist cell was waiting in ambush in the area for Israeli vehicles. When the victim, who was riding alone, came into range, the enemy attackers sprayed the vehicle with gunfire. The driver was critically injured, with multiple gunshot wounds, and he apparently died within minutes.
Fatah immediately took credit for the murder.
Meanwhile, the cabinet has approved the
release of 441 more terrorists, recycling the old spin that terrorist murders of Jews are really attacks aiming to prevent Israel's ceding of more territory that the terrorists demand.
