IDF Kills Young Palestinian Attempting To Fire Bomb - Look For Hamas Response

This could make for an ugly weekend. It has been unusually quiet in the Middle East the past two weeks and you can almost taste the anticipation by Hamas to get their terrorism rolling again. A supposedly 14 yr old boy, identified by his parents as that age, was shot and killed by Israeli forces as he tried to light a firebomb near an Israeli settlement and I have to believe this is going to be the straw that will break the back of Hamas who has been itching to start firing more rockets into southern Israel.

Here's some of the details of the incident from Breitbart:

A Palestinian was shot and killed Saturday by Israeli soldiers who said they saw him light a firebomb near a Jewish settlement. He was later identified by his parents, who said he was 14 years old.
The boy, Suhayeb Saleh, was from the village of Assira al-Kubliyeh, near the Jewish settlement of Yitzhar. His parents identified his body at a nearby hospital. The spokesman's office of the Israeli military said the boy also carried a knife. The office it did not know how far the boy was from the soldiers or the settlement.
Suhayeb's parents said the boy's older brother was killed by Israeli troops in 2002 after he opened fire on an army patrol near Yitzhar and wounded four soldiers.

Further on in this Breitbart article it speaks to the ongoing Egyptian-brokered prisoner swap between Hamas and Israel which supposedly could lead to the return of IDF soldier Gilad Shalit. And as usual, Hamas is now demanding hundreds of prisoners to be released for Shalit. I think a fairer exchange would be: Hamas returns Shalit and Israel agrees not to bomb the ever living shit out of every mid-level to upper level Hamas commander. Sounds about right, yes?

Army says troops kill Palestinian with firebomb

In the Gaza Strip, meanwhile, the Islamic militant Hamas warned it may step up demands in indirect talks with Israel on a prisoner swap. Hamas wants hundreds of Palestinian prisoners held by Israel in exchange for an Israeli soldier, Gilad Shalit, captured by Hamas-allied militants in June 2006.
Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar accused Israel of backtracking, claiming that Israel initially agreed to release 1,000 Palestinians, but now is only talking about freeing 450.
"In this situation, we also will go back on our word and cancel all that has been specified," Zahar was quoted as telling the local Gaza news agency Ramattan on Friday. "Our demands will be much larger than before. If they want a deal, they need to meet our demands," Zahar added.
Israel has been negotiating the swap with Egyptian mediation. Israel is vague on the details, including how many prisoners it is willing to free.
In another development, the Gaza-Egypt border terminal opened Saturday to allow passage of students and medical patients. The Rafah terminal is usually closed as part of a blockade of Gaza by Israel and Egypt, imposed after the violent Hamas takeover of Gaza in June 2007.
Egypt allows Rafah to open from time to time to deal with hardship cases. This time, Rafah is to be open on Saturday and Sunday. Ehab Ghussen, a spokesman of the Hamas Interior Ministry, said some 3,000 people have registered for departure during the two days.
Among those trying to get out are Gaza students accepted at foreign universities and medical patients seeking treatment abroad.
