Mohammed Jamal Al-Namnam, 25
Israeli officials kill Palestinian commander said to be planning terror attack
JERUSALEM -- Israeli officials said Wednesday their forces killed a senior Palestinian commander from an al-Qaida-affiliated Islamist group in Gaza Strip as he was planning a terrorist attack against Israeli and American targets in the Sinai Peninsula.
The militant, identified as Mohammed Jamal Al-Namnam, 25, was a leader of Army of Islam, a fringe group in Gaza Strip that has claimed responsibility for recent rocket attacks against Israel and taking part in the 2006 kidnapping of Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
"He was a ticking bomb," said Lt. Col. Avital Leibovitz, a military spokeswoman. She declined to provide details of the Sinai attack Namnam was suspected of plotting.
Namnam was killed in car explosion Wednesday outside the police headquarters of Hamas, the armed Palestinian group that controls Gaza Strip. Two other militants were injured.
Witnesses gave conflicting reports about whether the explosion was caused by a bomb inside the car or from an Israeli airstrike. Military officials would not comment on how the strike was carried out.
"The sound and fireball were massive," said taxi driver Mohammed Barbari, who said he was driving behind the car when it exploded. He said he escaped harm only because he stopped 100 yards away to pick up passengers.
The explosion flipped the car upside down and left a large crater in the road, witnesses said.
Though Hamas officials criticized the strike as the latest Israeli assassination, their organization has had its own problems with Army of Islam, which is one of several smaller extremist groups in Gaza Strip that have accused Hamas of growing too soft and abandoning its roots as a resistance movement.
As recently as last week, Hamas leaders warned the fringe groups to suspend their rocket attacks against southern Israel. Last year, Hamas soldiers clashed with another extremist group in an armed battle that killed about two dozen militants.
Officials from Army of Islam declined to comment Wednesday.

Hamas warns officials: Israel may booby-trap new cars http://bit.ly/b7gX1a eyewitnesses say explosion occurred inside vehicle
The Israeli army had earlier denied any involvement and now Israeli army has claimed responsibility. Was Hamas right?
IDF, Shin Bet confirm involvement in Gaza car blast.
Hamas says Army of Islam commander killed in airstrike near police headquarters, but eyewitnesses say explosion occurred inside vehicle.
IDF strike: The IDF and Shin Bet confirmed on Wednesday that they were responsible for the Gaza operation in which Army of Islam commander Muhammad Jamal al-Namnam was killed.
Earlier on Wednesday, a car exploded near a Hamas police station in Gaza City. The al-Arabiya network reported that one person was killed in the blast and another three were injured.
The man killed in the explosion was a senior field commander in the Army of Islam, one of the organizations affiliated with al-Qaeda in the Strip.
According to a source in one of the Gaza organizations, the man was killed in a new Hyundai car which recently arrived in the Strip from Israel as part of the easing of the blockade.
Israel has allowed dozens of vehicles to enter Gaza.
The source told Ynet that the Hamas interior ministry had recently called on Palestinian buying the new cars to have them checked thoroughly, "for fear that Israel has planted listening devices or even booby-trapped them."
Palestinian sources said the explosion rocked the Ansar area, where many of the security headquarters are located, sending up a plume of thick black smoke. Emergency teams and Hamas security forces rushed to the scene.
Eyewitnesses said the car was travelling on the road parallel to the police headquarters when the explosion occurred. Despite the claims of an airstrike, other residents said the explosion occurred inside the vehicle.
Adham Abu Selmia, a spokesman for the Strip's medical services, told Hamas journal al-Risala that the man killed in the incident was Muhammad Jamal al-Namnam, 27, a resident of the al-Shati refugee camo.
The man was said to be a senior commander in the extreme Army of Islam organization, whose members have clashed with Hamas forces. He was previously involved in terror attacks on Israeli targets, and recently conspired with Hamas members to carry out terror attacks through Sinai, against American and Israeli targets.

One Killed, Four Injured by Israeli Missile Strike in Gaza City
Moments after Wednesday airstrike in Gaza
Gaza PNN A Palestinian civilian was killed and four others were injured during an Israeli airstrike targeting Gaza City on Wednesday afternoon.
Interior Ministry sources in the Gaza Strip confirmed that an Israeli missile struck a car near the Interior Ministry passport control office in Gaza City.
Sources told PNN that the strike killed Muhammad Jamal al-Namnam, 27, from the al-Shati refugee camp. His body was taken to Ashfa Hospital in Gaza City. The names of the injured passersby were not released, but the injuries were said to be light.
In a first response the Islamic Jihad group in Gaza called the operation an assassination intended to cause confusion among Palestinians and derail reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas. Talks between the two factions will commence in the coming week in Damascus.
Khaled al-Batash, a prominent Islamic Jihad leader, explained in a press statement that Israel did not want peace but instead ignited the region with a storm of violence.

Israel admits to assassination in Gaza
Palestinians carry the coffin of Mohammed al-Nimim during his funeral in Gaza City November 3, 2010.
The Israeli army has claimed responsibility for an attack on the Gaza Strip, which has left one Palestinian dead and four others injured.
Resuming its targeted killings in the Gaza Strip, the army said in a statement on Wednesday that Israeli forces targeted and killed Mohammed Jamal al-Nimnim, a senior member of the Army of Islam, in a joint operation with the Shin Bet, Israel's internal security service.
Mohammed Jamal, 27, was killed after his car exploded outside the headquarters of the Hamas security forces in Gaza City.
Some reports suggest that his car exploded after missiles fired from an Israeli drone hit his car. Other reports, however, say that al-Nimnim was killed by a car bomb.
Israeli officials claim they ordered al-Nimnim's assassination because they had allegedly received reports that Nimnim was planning a number of attacks against American and Israeli targets in the Sinai Peninsula.
The Israeli army had earlier denied any involvement in the attack.

Muhammad Jamal A-Namnam, 27
First US targeted assassination in Gaza pre-empts next Al Qaeda offensive
A missile fired from an American warship in the Mediterranean hit the car in which Muhammad Jamal A-Namnam, 27, was driving in the heart of Gaza City Wednesday, Nov. 3 and killed him, debkafile's exclusive counter-terror sources report. Namnam was an operational commander of the Army of Islam, Al-Qaeda's Palestinian cell in the Gaza Strip.
He was on a mission on behalf of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula AQAP to plan, organize and execute the next wave of terrorist attacks on US targets after last week's air package bomb plot.
According to our sources, the Palestinian cell members were planning to infiltrate northern Sinai from the Gaza strip over the coming weekend and strike American personnel serving with the Multinational Force and Observers Organization MFO, which is under American command and is stationed at North Camp, El Gorah, 37 kilometers southeast of El-Arish.
In a coordinated operation, Al Qaeda fighters hiding up in the mountains of central Sinai were to have attacked US Marines and Air Force troops stationed at the South Camp in Naama Bay, Sharm el Sheikh.
The twin attacks were scheduled for Sunday, Nov. 7, or the following day.
Our sources say that, just as US-Saudi intelligence cooperation led to the interception of package bombs from Yemen last week, so too US intelligence-sharing with Egypt and Israel foiled a major Al-Qaeda terrorist attack on American personnel in Sinai. Egyptian intelligence picked up on Namnam's scouting forays of US forces and discovered him caching weapons and explosives ready for the Al Qaeda strike force's arrival from Gaza.
Israeli intelligence tracked Namnam's movements in Gaza City. It is quite likely, said a high-ranking Western military source in the Middle East, Thursday, Nov. 4, that the Israelis pinpointed Namnam for targeting by the US ship-borne missile that killed him.
Hamas security sources in Gaza now suspect that Israel had its own reasons for permitting new cars to be imported to the Gaza Strip for the first time in two years, knowing that they would be commandeered for the personal use of the chiefs of armed organizations, including Namnam. They believe Israel planted tracking devices in those vehicles.
The Palestinian sources also say that the blast which killed the Army of Islam man was unusually powerful and reverberated through most of the enclave. Witnesses denied sighting Israeli UAVs or other aircraft over the skies of Gaza.
The Al Qaeda operative's death by a US missile is the first American targeted assassination in the Gaza Strip against an Al Qaeda target. Up until now, US missions of this kind took place in Iraq, Yemen and Somalia.
debkafile's military sources report that, even after the abrupt passing of Al Qaeda's operational commander in the Gaza Strip, the two MFO camps in Sinai remain on high terror alert. The Al Qaeda cell or cells assigned to hit the South Camp in Sharm el Sheikh are still at large, the objects of a massive manhunt by Egyptian forces. It is also feared that Namnam's own cells could split and sections head out to North Camp in northern Sinai to complete his mission.

Man fatally shot by police in Atlit after attempted attack
Forty-year-old cab driver was in violation of a domestic violence-related restraining order; attacked and attempted to run over officer.
A police officer shot and killed a cab driver who reportedly attemped to run him down in a taxi near the entrance of Atlit overnight Wednesday.
The police were originally called to the man's family home to arrest him for violating a restraining order related to domestic violence.
An early police report said that the man sped towards an officer, who feared for his life. The police officer's lawyer told Army Radio on Thursday morning that the officer had fired several warning shots, and only shot directly at the man once after these were ignored. The man was killed by the shot.
According to the police, the chain of events began late on Wednesday night, after they received a call from the man's wife saying that her husband, in his late forties, was violating a restraining order prohibiting him from approaching his family home. When police arrived at the scene, the man reportedly attacked them .
A Magen David Adom crew attempted to resuscitate the man, but he was declared dead at the scene.
The police officer was lightly injured and was taken to the hospital for treatment.

MK: Remove memorial for Silwan riots instigator
Samer Sarhan
Memorial in Mugrabi Gate
Barkat asked to get rid of 'illegal' monument commemorating Palestinian shot while throwing stones.
Knesset Member Miri Regev (Likud) sent a letter to Jerusalem Mayor Nir Barkat Sunday demanding he remove a memorial set up in Silwan for a Palestinian man who was shot to death by an Israeli security guard. The incident led to riots in east Jerusalem last September.
In her letter, MK Regev claimed that the memorial is illegal and "perpetuates the legacy of a Fatah militant who headed a terrorist organization."
Memorial for Sarhan in Jerusalem Samer Sarhan was shot to death by a Jewish security guard in September 22. A police inquiry indicated that residents blocked the guard's way and pelted him with stones. Feeling threatened, he drew his hand gun and fired, causing Sarhan's death. Police were familiar with Sarhan from previous criminal activity. A screwdriver and a knife were found on his body.
"I learned that a monument was recently set up in memory of the shahid Samer Sarhan near the Mugrabi Gate in Jerusalem," MK Regev noted in her letter. Sarhan, she said, "was involved in an attempted lynch of an Israeli security guard as he guarded the legal traffic of passers-by in Jerusalem."
Regev claimed that the unauthorized installation of monuments was illegal and that failure to enforce this will once again be construed as weakness and disregard for the rule of law. She added that it would also encourage more illegal monuments.
September riots in Silwan
The MK mentioned that requests for commemoration by bereaved parents are usually subject to the approval of various municipal planning committees and noted no such request was put forth in Sarhan's case.
She also pointed to a recently approved Knesset law aimed at withdrawing burial fees in cases of nationalistically motivated crimes. "This law was meant to send a clear message to all those seeking to harm state citizens," she wrote. "I am confident that this can be applied to matters pertaining to memorials in a broader context."

Mahmoud Salem Abu Araqa, 19
Gaza worker dies collecting rubble
GAZA CITY (Ma'an) -- A 19-year-old worker died of asphyxiation Sunday after he fell in a ditch and was buried under rubble as he collected stone aggregates in Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Gaza medical services spokesman Adham Abu Salmiyya identified the victim as Mahmoud Salem Abu Araqa, and said his body was transferred to Nasser Hospital.
Another teenager was injured Sunday when Israeli forces opened fire at a group of workers collecting rubble near an evacuated Israeli settlement in northern Gaza. He was identified as 19-year-old Karam Al-Adham.
Workers are targeted nearly every day by Israeli soldiers patrolling the buffer zone, an area of Palestinian territory along Gaza's northern and eastern borders.
As Israel bans concrete and crushed stone for construction, young men often go to evacuated settlements to collect gravel from buildings that Israeli forces demolished before the unilateral withdrawal in 2005.

IOF soldiers killed 3 Palestinians in Gaza in November
GAZA, (PIC)-- Israeli occupation forces (IOF) killed three Palestinians and wounded 20 others since the start of the current month of November in Gaza Strip, Adham Abu Salmiya told the PIC.
Abu Salmiya, the coordinator of medical services in the Strip, said on Friday that the figures point to a "serious escalation" on the part of the IOF.
He recalled that IOF warplanes shelled two homes in Khan Younis and Deir Al-Balah in addition to two cars in Gaza city other than daily targeting of gravel collecting workers in east and north of the Strip.
Abu Salmiya asked the world community to bridle the Israeli aggression against civilians and to apply the international laws that prohibit the targeting of civilians.
In another development, IOF troops rounded up four Palestinians in Madma village, south of Nablus, at dawn Saturday after searching their homes, locals said.
IOF soldiers had stormed the village on Wednesday and imposed a curfew after claiming a firebomb was thrown from the village at an IOF vehicle.

Mahmoud Abu Ghannam 38
Strike in Jerusalem after man killed in clash
JERUSALEM (Ma'an) Palestinians in Jerusalem's At-Tur neighborhood went on strike Saturday protesting the killing of 38-year-old Mahmoud Abu Ghannam, who was shot dead following a clan clash which erupted last Monday.
Abu Ghannam, a father of three, died Friday when he tried to disperse a fight which erupted anew after a traditional agreement, known as a hudna, for 48 hours. Eyewitnesses said the gunshot which killed Abu Ghannam might have come from a member of his own family.
The victim's body was taken to the Abu Kabir Forensic Institute in Tel Aviv and is scheduled to be brought back Sunday for burial.
The dispute erupted last Monday when a young driver from the Abu Al-Hawa family was speeding in the crowded neighborhood and swerved as he made a sharp U-turn. Some young men from the Abu Ghannam family scolded the driver and as a result clashes erupted between the two clans using firearms and knives.

A Thanksgiving Message From Gaza
Desert Peace As you Americans sit down with your family on this Thanksgiving Day, think of the Gazans that have nothing to thank you for. Think of the over 1500 citizens of Gaza that were murdered with weapons made in your country. Think of the additional 3 Billion dollars that will be spent on warplanes bound to Israel soon to continue the process of genocide.
As you look at the glowing faces of your beautiful children think of the over 5 hundred children in Gaza whose lives were snuffed out because you didn't care enough to tell your government to Stop Supporting Genocide
As you enjoy your good health think of the people of Gaza who are denied the basic humanitarian needs including medical supplies, thanks to a siege and blockade that your government has supported from day 1.
The following video will help you think about those things mentioned above..... pass your laptop around the dinner table today and share it with your guests.... it's a must see for all Americans.

Israeli troops kill 2 Palestinians in Gaza
The Israeli military has announced in a statement that its soldiers shot at least two Palestinians dead in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The military said on Thursday that the Palestinians were killed as they were approaching a boundary fence in the east of the coastal enclave.
The statement also claimed that the two Palestinians were armed and were trying to infiltrate into Israel. A military spokesman, however, told AFP that the men were killed inside the Gaza Strip.
Meanwhile, Palestinian sources said Israeli tanks fired a small barrage of artillery into eastern Gaza after launching a limited incursion into the region.
Earlier on Wednesday, Israeli troops forcibly entered Palestinian homes in the northern West Bank and handed out summons to several civilians.
Israel claimed its existence in 1948 during full-scale military operations against the Arab world, forcing 711,000 Palestinians to leave their homeland.
In 1967, Tel Aviv went on to occupy and later annex the West Bank and East al-Quds (Jerusalem), the promised capital of the future Palestinian state, in defiance of the international community's refusal to recognize the annexation.
Estimates in 2008 put the number of the refugees at over 4.6 million.

Report: Three Killed, 35 Wounded, By Army Fire In November
A report on Israeli attacks against the Palestinians in November revealed that soldiers killed three Palestinians, and wounded 35, amidst ongoing soldier and settler violations against the Palestinians in the occupied territories.
The Information Center of the Ministry of Planning in Gaza, reported Tuesday that three Palestinians were killed last month during Israeli air strikes and bombardment targeting the Gaza Strip, and that dozens were wounded during Israeli attacks against nonviolent protests against the Annexation Wall in the West Bank.
According to the report, 1,273 residents were wounded in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in November.
The army carried out nine limited invasions into the Gaza Strip in November, 84 in the West Bank, and kidnapped 288 Palestinians; 100 of the kidnapped are from Hebron.
The report also stated that there are 6,100 Palestinians currently imprisoned by Israel, among them 40 women, 251 children, 10 legislators and 214 detainees who are imprisoned under administrative detention orders.
It also stated that immediately after the temporary settlement freeze ended on September 26, settlers started an accelerated construction process in Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank, including 56 units in Hebron.
Furthermore, Israeli soldiers confiscated 200 Dunams of Palestinian lands to annex them to the Maskiot Settlement in the Jordan Valley.
Israeli settlers burnt more than 200 Olive trees in the West Bank, while soldiers demolished a mosque in the Jordan valley.
Violations in Jerusalem remain on the rise as Israel presented a plan to build hundreds of units for Jewish settlers, including 1,200 units on Abu Ghneim (Har Homa) Mountain, 250 units along with a Mall in Ramot settlement, and dozens of settlement projects in different areas in the occupied West Bank and in occupied East Jerusalem.
After several months of attempted negotiations with Israel to try to push Tel Aviv to comply with international law and signed agreements, the U.S. government announced, Tuesday, that it is abandoning efforts to get the Israeli government to comply with the law prohibiting settlements.
According to a representative of the US State Department, the US will continue its negotiations, but will not press Israel to comply with international law banning the transfer of civilians to militarily occupied land. All settlements are illegal under the Fourth Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a signatory, but the Israeli government has ignored this obligation, and has transferred over 500,000 Israeli civilians into settlements constructed on stolen Palestinian land since 1967.
Previously, the U.S. government had offered Israel 20 F-35 fighter jets, which are the newest model of US-made fighter jets, in exchange for a six-month settlement freeze. Israel rejected that offer, and demanded that they be allowed to continue continual expansion of settlements on Palestinian land, even while engaging in 'negotiations' with Palestinian leaders.

OCHA: Israel killed 3 Palestinians, wounded 10 others in one week
OCCUPIED JERUSALEM, (PIC)-- The UN office for the coordination of human rights (OCHA) said in a weekly report issued on Saturday that three Palestinians were killed in the Gaza Strip and 10 others were wounded in different areas of the occupied Palestinian territories during Israeli military attacks.
The report covered different violations committed by Israel during one week, including the demolition of Palestinian real estate and attacks carried out by settlers. It confirmed that 150 olive trees were torched and one water well was demolished by settlers.
The report pointed to the continued Israeli restrictions imposed on the movement of goods and individuals in the besieged Gaza Strip and the power outages that result from the entry of insufficient fuel shipments for Gaza power plant.
OCHA also pointed to the Israeli decision to exile Palestinian lawmaker Mohamed Abu Tir from his native city of Jerusalem to the West Bank after detaining him for five months in jail.
In another incident, Palestinian local sources reported that a 19-year-old Palestinian young man called Abdullah Du'ais suffered serious wounds after he was severely beaten by a group of Israeli troops in the 1948 occupied lands.
The sources added that Israeli soldiers kidnapped Du'ais on Friday outside his workplace and then brutally attacked him using batons and police dogs before taking him to an unknown destination and throwing him in a deplorable state near a checkpoint in the village of Ni'lin.
Du'ais was taken to a medical center to receive treatment after Palestinian citizens found him near the checkpoint.

Two Palestinians killed, IDF soldier seriously wounded in exchange of fire on Gaza border
Exchange of fire was prompted by an infiltration attempt from the Gaza Strip; in the past week there has been an increase in incidents on Israel-Gaza border.
Two Palestinian militants were killed and an Israel Defense Forces soldier was seriously wounded on Saturday evening in an exchange of fire on Israel's border with the Gaza Strip.
The exchange of fire was prompted by an attempt by Palestinian militants to infiltrate into Israel from Gaza.
During the infiltration attempt, mortars were fired towards Israel from Gaza.
The wounded IDF soldier was transported to a hospital by helicopter.
In recent days, there has been an increase in the number of incidents on the border.
On Thursday morning, the Israeli Air Force attacked three Hamas targets in Gaza in response to a mortar attack from Gaza in which the security coordinator of a town in the Eshkol Regional Council was lightly wounded.
Last Tuesday, Israel Defense Forces soldiers discovered four areas along the border fence where explosive devices had been planted to target IDF patrols.
At the start of the week, an anti-tank missile was fired at an IDF tank, causing damage. The IDF has detected an improvement in the anti-tank capabilities within the Gaza Strip as a result of the smuggling of more sophisticated weapons into Gaza from the Sinai Peninsula.
