A Hamas operative opened fire at the Jewish community in Hebron on Shabbat afternoon from within the Hebron cemetery.
Sheikh Mahmoud Nofal, identified as the imam (spiritual leader) of the Al-Qassam Mosque in Hebron, was shot and killed by Israel Defense Forces after firing gunshots at members of the city’s Jewish community — specifically aiming at children, in fact.
Miraculously, there were no injuries to any Israeli civilians or military personnel, and no damage was reported.
“This damned terrorist, an imam of the age “not suspected of terrorism”, did not fire “against the settlement in Hebron”, Minister Orit Strook, a resident in the area, corrected.
“He shot from point blank range at two children, who would have died on the only street allowed for Jewish movement in Hebron. I will bring my neighbor’s soccer ball, which belongs to a fifth grade student, to the government cabinet meeting tomorrow. The ball took a bullet instead of the boy, who was saved by the grace of God,” Strook said.
Hebron, located in Judea, has long been home to a host of Palestinian Authority terrorist organizations, including Hamas.
Huh? A soccer ball stopped a bullet?
Why is Hebron not in Israeli hands? Why is it allowed to harbor subhuman trash like this?
