So, Mahmoud Abbas is going to stop terror in the West Bank.
Really. Because seven IDF soldiers were wounded during operations in Nablus.
An IDF officer was severely injured, three soldiers were moderately hurt and another three sustained light wounds as Palestinians hurled four explosive devices at a force operating in the West Bank city of Nablus on Wednesday night.
An officer who was moderately injured in one of the explosions was evacuated via helicopter to the Sheba Medical Center at Tel Hashomer, where his condition deteriorated and is now defined serious. Another three soldiers were evacuated by ambulance to the Rabin Medical Center in Petah Tikva.
[…] The IDF reported that military activity against terror infrastructure in the West Bank continued early Thursday morning, and the forces entered Nablus for the purpose of arresting wanted Palestinians.
According to the IDF Spokesperson’s Office, once the forces entered the city, some 50 Palestinians opened fire on them in two separate incidents. In both cases, no one was injured.
Two explosive devices were also hurled at the IDF forces, and no soldiers were injured. A third device was thrown at the soldiers shortly afterwards, leaving one IDF officer moderately injured from shrapnel.
Why, exactly, was the IDF in Nablus? Oh, that’s right. Because Nablus is a safe haven for terrorists. And because Mahmoud Abbas is not Israel’s partner. He is her enemy.
This is unclear. It could mean that no humans were injured but the terrorists were wiped out or that (unfortunately) the terrorists escaped.
Why, then, is Olmert sending Abb-ass’ kleptocracy more dollars? To promote peace, of course.
