Justice finally meted out against another Islamic murderer at Havat Gilad
Ahmed Jarrar, the leader of the terrorist cell that murdered Rabbi Raziel Shevach near the Samaria outpost of Havat Gilad last month, was killed in a clash with Israeli security forces, the military said Tuesday.Even if the score was settled, the danger of more murders still remains so long as Islam does too.
Jarrar, a member of Hamas' Izzedine al-Qassam Brigades, was the son of Hamas commander Nasser Jarrar, killed by Israeli forces in 2002, at the height of the Second Intifada. The younger Jarrar was believed to have been killed in a Jan. 18 raid in Jenin, where two members of the cell were arrested and a third killed, but the defense establishment soon learned he managed to escape, becoming the subject of a massive IDF manhunt.
A military statement said IDF, Israel Police and Shin Bet security agency forces raided Jarrar's hideout in Al-Yamun, a Palestinian town west of Jenin, overnight.
Jarrar reportedly exited the building where he was hiding armed and was shot by security forces. A search of his body yielded an M16 rifle and several explosive devices.
No injuries were reported among the Israeli troops.
