Talat Hassan Marouf, a local Hamas leader in Gaza, won't be sitting around on a Sunday afternoon eating dates and figs - nope, he'll be in an Israeli prison cell spilling his guts about his operation in Gaza. Good.
This from the article here at The Washington Times:
Hopefully, this may signal more and more Hamas mid level and upper level leaders being either captured or killed. I've been calling for a targeting of Hamas leaders for weeks now although this incident appears more to have been precipitated by some weapons fire coming from Marouf's home than an operation designed to capture him. Either way, it's all good. One less Hamas leader on the streets today and tonight. And hopefully, this pile of shit will sing like a canary and give up the locale on about half a dozen of his fellow leaders in Gaza.
This from the article here at The Washington Times:
Israeli forces entered a northern Gaza town early yesterday and seized a local Hamas leader from his home during heavy fighting with Palestinian gunmen, Hamas militants and a Palestinian health official said.
The military said Israeli troops came under fire from inside the house, where Mr. Marouf's family was at the time.

Hamas leader nabbed in raid
The fighting erupted in the town of Beit Lahiya, near the border with Israel. The army confirmed the raid, saying its forces exchanged fire with Palestinian militants.
The apparent target of the Israeli raid was Talat Hassan Marouf, a local Hamas leader. The fighting took place around his house, and Israeli forces withdrew after detaining him, said Abu Obeida, a spokesman for the Hamas military wing.
The military said Israeli troops came under fire from inside the house, where Mr. Marouf's family was at the time.
His 14-year old daughter, Mariam, was killed by shrapnel from heavy machine guns, said Dr. Moawiya Hassanain, a Palestinian Health Ministry official. The girl's mother was injured in the clashes.
Nine other Palestinians, including seven gunmen, also were wounded in the fighting, said Dr. Hassanain. Three of the gunmen were in critical condition, he said.
The fighting began before dawn when an Israeli undercover force entered an area of northern Gaza near the border with Israel. Hamas and Islamic Jihad militants fired at the force, using machine guns, mortars and homemade bombs, Hamas militants said.
A dozen Israeli tanks and aircraft provided cover during the clashes, the army said. It said its aircraft launched two missile strikes against the militants. The sound of explosions could be heard across northern Gaza.
