Israeli forces surrounded the house and called on one of Jerar's neighbors to ask him to come out. But the neighbor was killed in a hail of gunfire.

So this rabid dog killed a fellow Palestinian before he was killed by the IDF? Just shows how cheap life is for these crazies.

Also Wednesday, Israeli forces in the West Bank killed a wheelchair-bound Hamas militant on Wednesday, knocking down his house and burying him under the rubble, the military and residents said.

The military said a neighbor was sent to tell Nasser Jerar, 44, to surrender but was hit by gunfire from inside the house and apparently killed. Then Israeli forces destroyed the house. Palestinians charged that Israeli gunfire killed the neighbor. The Israeli human rights group B'Tselem charged that soldiers used the neighbor, Nidal Abu Daraghmeh, 19, as a "human shield."

Jerar was a top activist in the violent Islamic group who lost both legs and an arm while trying to plant a bomb in May 2001, the Israeli military said.

In a statement, the military said Jerar continued his Hamas activity despite his injuries from the abortive attack. The military said Jerar recruited suicide bombers and was also planning a bombing aimed at bringing down a high-rise building in Israel.
