The Israel Air Force struck a Gaza terrorist base late Thursday night, killing Jamal Abu Samhadana, a wanted terrorist newly appointed to head a new Hamas militia comprised of various terrorists.Very good.
The IAF craft attacked a training camp of the Salah al-Din Brigades, the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees (PRC), in the southern Gaza town of Rafiah, firing four missiles in the strike.
Abu Samhadana, founder and leader of the Fatah splinter group, the PRC, was the director-general of the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority (PA) Interior Ministry. He was appointed to the post a short time after his release from an Israeli prison.
Abu Samhadana had survived at least four previous assassination attempts. He has been on Israel’s most wanted terrorist list from the time of the first intifada and was suspected of having a key role in the bloody 2003 bombing of a U.S. convoy in Gaza.
The camp was located on the ruins of the former Jewish settlement Slav in the southern part of Gush Katif, which the government demolished last summer during the expulsion program. Terrorists were being trained there to launch a large scale attack on Israel, according to an IDF spokeswoman. At least three other terrorists were killed and ten wounded in the missile strike, she said.
