Israeli Navy Kills 4 al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade Divers On Their Way To Terror Attack

It's been a busy last seven days for the Israeli navy and today was just another example of how on top of things that fighting force is - four al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade jihadists from Gaza were spotted off the coast of Gaza as they readied for a terror attack inside of Israel and the Israeli Navy did a number on the worthless scumbags...four were killed, one was wounded and escaped.

From the article at VOA News:

Israeli forces have killed four Palestinian divers that Israel says were heavily armed and preparing to carry out a terrorist attack.

The Israel Defense Forces says its navy spotted several men in diving suits off the coast of the Gaza Strip. IDF officials say they had information the men intended to carry out a terror attack on Israel, just a few kilometers to the north.

A hospital in Gaza says the bodies of four men were recovered.

One man was reported missing, and another made it back to shore with slight injuries.

Mohammed Dawwas, reporting for VOA in Gaza, says one survivor claims the divers were from the militant al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade group, a militant offshoot of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah faction.

The timing couldn't be better to substantiate the Israeli story of a nation CONSTANTLY under attack by its enemies and you might want to notice that this was NOT a Hamas attempted attack but by the armed wing of Fatah - yeah, that's right, Mahmoud Abbas' own Fatah network, the chump who is supposed to be negotiating that stellar two state solution for Barack Hussein Obama.

How much more proof does anyone need that there isn't a Palestinian alive, whether they are in Gaza or the West Bank, that truly wants any peace with Israel. They want Israel destroyed. They want death. They want murder. They want blood.

Israeli Navy Fires on Palestinian Divers Off Gaza, Killing Four

Israeli forces have killed four Palestinian divers that Israel says were heavily armed and preparing to carry out a terrorist attack.

The Israel Defense Forces says its navy spotted several men in diving suits off the coast of the Gaza Strip. IDF officials say they had information the men intended to carry out a terror attack on Israel, just a few kilometers to the north.

"I just talked to the commander of this group that belongs to the al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigade and he exactly told me these words: 'They were not on any kind of mission. They were only in training, doing some training in the sea. That is all, exactly, what they were doing.' That is what he said."

Later, Israel carried out an air strike in northern Gaza, hitting alleged militants who, it said, were preparing to fire a rocket into Israel.

The shooting offshore occurred as tensions remained high off the coast of Gaza, following Israel's raid last week of an aid flotilla in which nine activists – eight Turks and one American – were killed.

Israel's government says it opposes an international probe of last week's raid on the aid flotilla. Israeli officials say any probe should be carried out internally by Israelis, with foreign observers.

Pressure is also growing domestically. In a letter published in a major newspaper, a group of 10 Israeli naval officers questioned the way the deadly raid was carried out.

Israel's parliament was to vote on no-confidence motions against the government for the raid.

Some in the opposition are also questioning whether Israel should maintain its three-year-old blockade of Gaza.

Israel says the embargo is necessary to keep weapons out of the enclave. The blockade has been in place since 2007, when the militant Islamist group Hamas seized control of Gaza. The group's charter calls for the destruction of the Jewish State.

Shin Bet Thwarts Mass Poisoning Of Israeli Restaurant Patrons

The jihadists will do anything ...anything to kill Jews. Shin Bet uncovered a plot by two palestinians illegals working at an Israeli restaurant to lace a number of dishes with an odorless, tasteless toxin. There were also plans to bring a suicide bomber into the area. Here's some of the details from the report here at YNET:

The men, Eihab Abu Rial and Anas Salum, both 21-year-old residents of the West Bank city of Nablus, had planned to lace dishes served at the establishment with a powerful toxin without odor or taste, in the hopes of killing as many patrons as possible.
The two did not have working permits and were residing in Israel illegally. While in Nablus, they had been recruited to the al-Aqsa Martyr's Bridges, the military wing of Fatah, under the guidance and funding of Hizbullah.

These are desperate times with jihadists pulling out all of the stops to kill Israelis and create terror and chaos. Hopefully, these two will give up much needed info on al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades leadership.

I'm afraid, there will come a day when there will flat out be too many of these types of attacks for the Israelis to uncover them all. As always, an example needs to be made of these plotters and the chain of command that brought them to this mission needs to be identified, located, confirmed and eradicated.

Shin Bet thwarts mass restaurant poisoning

The thwarting of an alarming terror plot was cleared for publication on Thursday, almost three weeks after a joint Shin Bet and police operation led to the arrest of two Palestinian employees of the 'Grill Express' restaurant in Ramat Gan.

The men were arrested by police investigators following information obtained by the Shin Bet, several
short days before they planned to carry out the attack.

Toxin was to come from West Bank
In their questioning the men told interrogators they were to receive the poison from two operatives in the Balata refugee camp in Nablus – Husseini Salag and Hani Quabi – who are still wanted by security forces.

The white substance is virtually undetectable and affects its victims approximately four hours after being ingested.

Salag, they said, also sought to use them to bring a suicide bomber across the border.
Defense officials say they are concerned Quabi continues to seek the means to carry out an attack in Israel using illegal Palestinian residents.

A similar incident occurred five and a half years ago in Jerusalem. At the time, three Arab residents of east Jerusalem were arrested before their plan to poison Israeli patrons at the Rimon Café in central Jerusalem could be realized. The three had also planned to carry out a suicide bombing during a right-wing demonstration. The cell had been found to operating under Hamas.

Some four years ago a Fatah cell was arrested in Qalqiliya, the group had been planning to detonate an explosive device encased in HIV-infected blood in a crowded Tel Aviv area.

Al Aqsa Brigades Jihadists Escape From West Bank Prison

Yeah, they actually call it a prison although once you've read this...I think you'll agree that these chumps seemed to have walked out the front door!

Here's the deal - the Palestinian Authority and Israel reached an agreement some time ago that wanted terrorists from Israel's perspective could turn in their weapons and serve three months in prison and then Israel would grant them amnesty. Well, 12 Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades prisoners apparently took exception to their treatment in the prison and decided to leave. From the article here from Yahoo News:

"We left the prison because of the aggression on the part of masked members of the national security forces against the detainees. There were scuffles and then we left," one of the detainees, Mahdi Abu Ghazaleh, told AFP.
"We gave up our weapons according to an agreement but we received nothing in return," he added.
"They told us if you give up your weapons and spend three months in jail, there will be an amnesty and the Israeli army will stop its operations in Nablus but nothing happened."

But the part of the article that I like the best is this:

"They are out of prison now and their lives are in danger because of the Israelis. If they want to come back they are welcome but we won't let them move freely or carry weapons," Muhaisen told AFP.

Yep, that's right - these 12 are now back on the Israeli hit list and if there is any justice in the world, these 12 will find a hellfire waiting for them when they jump into a couple of Toyota mini vans this weekend.

Al Aqsa militants break out of West Bank prison

NABLUS, West Bank (AFP) - Twelve Palestinian militants escaped from a Palestinian-run prison in the northern West Bank city of Nablus overnight, Palestinian security officials said on Saturday.

The detainees, members of the Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, an armed group loosely tied to Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas's Fatah party, were wanted by the Israeli army, the officials said.
They had been detained in the Jneid prison under a July 2007 agreement with Israel that allows militants to surrender their weapons and serve a three-month period of detention in exchange for amnesty.

Fourteen members of the same militant group escaped from the prison on February 21 before turning themselves in the following day. They said the breakout was in protest at prison conditions and an Israeli decision to extend their detention from three months to six.
The once restive city of Nablus, which saw heavy fighting during the latest Palestinian uprising, is now the focus of a mounting security crackdown by Palestinian authorities as part of revived peace talks with Israel.

Israeli Troops Kill 2 Jihadists Planting Bomb At Gaza Border Fence

Good news! The ever-alert Israeli troops on the Gaza border put a little downer on the plans of two jihadists (Fatah's boys) to place a bomb at the Gaza/Israel border fence. Apparently, Fatah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad are having a bit more trouble messing with this fence than they had when they were able to torch and bomb through the fence in front of the Egyptians! Haha. Anyway, that's two less muj to have to worry about in Gaza tonight. From the article:

They identified the men killed near the town of Beit Hanoun as members of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction.

Now, wasn't it old Mahmoud Abbas that was just complaining about how Israel is messing up all the peace plans? And here we have two of his military wing misfits placing a bomb at a border fence. I mean, is there anyone in the world that would trust one word coming out of the heathen mouth of Mahmoud Abbas?

Here's the full story from Reuters.

Israeli troops kill 2 Gaza gunmen on border-medics

GAZA, March 29 (Reuters) - Israeli forces killed two Palestinians who tried to plant a bomb on the Gaza Strip's northern border fence on Saturday, Palestinian hospital officials and a militant faction said.
They identified the men killed near the town of Beit Hanoun as members of al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades, an armed wing of Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction.
An Israeli military spokesman had no immediate comment.
Earlier, an Israeli air strike in nearby Gaza City wounded three Palestinians, hospital officials said. It was not immediately clear if they had militant affiliations.
The military said the air force attacked a group of Palestinian gunmen after two rockets and two mortar bombs were fired into Israel from Gaza. (Reporting by Nidal al-Mughrabi; editing by Richard Williams)

Suicide Bombers Attack Israel

And it begins. Two suicide bombers attacked Israel today in the Israeli city of Dimona. One Israeli was killed, six wounded. There were two suicide bombers but one was shot and killed before he could detonate his explosives. Dimona is the area that houses one of Israel's nuclear facilities.
While it hasn't been confirmed, at this point the only terrorist group to somewhat claim responsibility was Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades which of course is the extremist branch of Abbas' Fatah.
This is all indicative, I'm afraid of things to come. Don't think for a minute that this is a coincidence since Dimona is near the Egyptian border area - the whole area is now porous and if Israeli isn't stacking forces 3 deep along that border, they are making a mistake. I realize who is claiming this bombing but this reeks of al Qaeda to me - al Qaeda often uses multiple bombers - we'll have to see if there are more groups with a claim to this.

Here's the full story from Breitbart.

1 Killed by Israel Suicide Bomber

JERUSALEM (AP) - A suicide bomber on Monday blew himself up in the southern town that houses Israel's secretive nuclear reactor, killing at least one Israeli and wounding six, authorities said. Police said a second attacker was shot dead he could detonate his explosives belt.
It was the first suicide attack in Israel in a year, and officials were investigating whether the attackers came in through Egypt after Palestinians breached the Gaza-Egypt border last month. A violent offshoot of moderate Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas' Fatah movement claimed responsibility, which could complicate recently renewed peace efforts.
Government officials dismissed the notion that the heavily guarded Dimona nuclear reactor was the target of the attackers. The explosion took place in an industrial area about six miles from the reactor site.
"We heard a large explosion and people started to run. I saw pieces of flesh flying in the air," a witness identified only by her first name, Revital, told Army Radio.

"The terror organizations have showed again who they are and what they are," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Arye Mekel. "Their goal was and continues to be to kill Israeli citizens in their homes and their schools and in their shopping centers."

The breach made Israel's Negev desert, where Dimona is located, more vulnerable to penetration by Palestinian militants who could enter through Egypt's porous border. Dimona is about 40 miles northeast of Egypt.
However, the Al Aqsa Martyrs' Brigades, the group affiliated with Abbas' Fatah movement that claimed responsibility, said in an e-mail to The Associated Press that it sent attackers from the West Bank town of Ramallah to carry out the "heroic martyrdom bombing in Dimona."
